Are distributions from Fair Fund, no 1099, how to report?

This was an award on IRA from 1999 to 2002 violation of market timing.  Took in cash.  Where/how to report in software?

Are distributions from Fair Fund, no 1099, how to report?

You can enter this as a lawsuit settlement. Since it was not reported on a 1099-MISC, here are the steps:

    • Continue your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in and click Take me to my return.)
    • Click My Account (top right of your screen).
    • Select Tools.
    • In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
    • In the search bar, type lawsuit.
    • In the results box, highlight lawsuit settlement, then click GO.
    • Answer Yes to the question Any Other Taxable Income?
    • Enter a brief description and the amount you received and click Continue.
