Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Since you don't have documentation about the amount for back wages and the Form 1099-MISC does not indicate any amount, then you should enter it as a legal settlement and follow the steps in the link below.

You do mention that 25% indicates unpaid wages, and it's possible it is included in your W-2, but only you can make that determination as indicated by our Tax Champ @opus_17.
