I followed JohnB5677 instructions "Where to deduct qualified attorney's fees" to enter a negative for the amount of my lawyer's fees that were paid in my civil rights case settlement but doing this it made my refund go way up.
Am I suppose to enter the same amount in a different area, only in the positive, so they cancel each other out? I did not receive a 1099 or any other form. I called my attorney, he apparently received a 1099 in his name only. I did fill out tax forms and sent them to him at the time of the case. Not sure what to do here. Thank you.
