1099-MISC for a lawsuit settlement

I need to amend my taxes to report 1099-INT and 1099-MISC received from being part of a lawsuit settlement.  When I enter the other income and click continue, it wants me to describe the reason for this 1099-MISC.  Do I type "lawsuit settlement" or "Penalties Payment which is how is described on the check stub?  Next, I choose This was money from lawsuit settlement.  Next question is Was any part of the lawsuit settlement for back wages? I answered  NO since a separate w-2 was received for this.  But on the Final review, it wants me to add a dollar amount for Back wages paid, do I just type 0.00 on line?
