Hello @hongto !
Thanks for the question.
In most situations I have seen, buyouts like these are considered "other" taxable income, and the payer issues a 1099-MISC to the payee. This income will be subject to your highest ordinary income tax rate (not a lower capital gains rate), so keep this in mind when negotiating!
All my best,
