Hi. Thank you. No, I do not believe I received "income."
The settlement called for several things. 1) for my wife's health insurance company to process and pay all claims impacted. 2) It also required the University to pay all my attorneys fees for my having to bring a suit. 3) It also required the University to reimburse me for all thousands of dollars I had to pay the hospital and providers that I was forced to pay when all the (pre-authorized, pre-approved) health claims were later (wrongly) denied by the third party claims administrator in violation of my civil rights. I did not receive any extra money "income," no pain and suffering, or windfall of any type. My attorney says he got a 1099 for his attorney's fees that he was paid and he would email me a copy and I should use his form. I said I did not think I could file his payment amount on my taxes because the 1099 is in his name. I have received no tax forms, no 1099-misc, nothing.
Given this information above, do I still follow your directions?
