Hoping third times a charm and I will get the answer I’m looking for. Re:1099s

Received two W2s side by side for class action settlement for back wages. One side has Plaintiff v Employer as Employer w all taxes withheld, EIN and State ID. The other side has (former) Employer as Employer w only State ID and box 14 filled out. On top right corner of this form, lists 1099int and 1099misc fees(over $10). 

 

All I need to know now, is how to report the INT and MISC fees.  Since I did not receive any forms other then the W2s, I have no ID numbers. However, I have read that you can input company names instead.

 

So my question is…Are these fees reported under the lawsuit, Plaintiff v Employer or the subject of the lawsuit, the Employer?  Plaintiff v Employer is the payor name on the check.

 

Thank you!

In this case where the interest comes from the same action, it's not very important whom you list as payer,

Take your pick.
