1099 NEC?
I received a 1099 NEC for settlement in a sexual harassment lawsuit. It was issued as a 1099 NEC not MIsc. Since this is reported as 1099 NEC non-employee comp, can I deduct the attorney fees associated with the case? They were paid from the amount in Box 1 non-employee compensation. No taxes were withheld and no other information or amounts in any box other than box 1. I had no other 1099/ SE income for that year. I did have w-2 income.
