Retirement tax questions

I have a situation like this, received a 1099 MISC for an employment discrimination lawsuit settlement from which I'm entitled to deduct attorneys fees. I followed your example below, but do not see the part you mention about the second negative entry. When I input this into other reportable income on TurboTax, it specifically admonishes me NOT to enter anything for which I received a 1099.  Can you enlighten me? Thanks so much.
