1099 MISC amount payor settlement

[kennethyip]

I have a lawsuit settlement as a defendant and I paid 50% of the award and my insurance company paid 50% of the award to the plaintiff.  In my 1099 MISC to the plaintiff, what is the amount I should put down?  100%or 50%? The settlement does not breakdown the percentage awarded in each charge.  thank you.

The amount you paid. The insurance company should also be sending one.
