Solved: Taxable income?

I received a refund check from a lawyer i paid who never did the service paid for.

Is this considered income? Original payment came from already taxed money.

It’s not income as long as you have never taken a tax deduction for it.

You paid the attorney but did not receive services---so he gave your money back? Sounds like returning a few bags of mulch to Walmart and getting your money back. Nothing to enter on a tax return about that.
