Hi,
I moved from CA to OR in February 2020
The settlement was for back wages and a settlement award earned between 2018 - 2019 when I lived in California.
The lawsuit was not finalized and checks were not mailed until 2022. 3 checks were paid. 2 to me in my name and 1 paid to the attorney in their name for attorney fees
I received a W2 (for the back wages) and a 1099 (for the rest of the settlement). My W2 has California state taxes taken out). I'm confused what state taxes I pay on the 1099 and W2 amount since I earned this money in California, but received this money in Oregon.
I am also wondering if I am liable for taxes on monies paid to the attorney which came out of the settlement and if so, is this deductible? The check to the attorney was made out directly to their law firm and isn't in my name.
Thanks for any help provided
