Where do I enter an award from a taxable legal settlement?
If you know how much of the settlement is capital gain and how much is interest income, you can also create a 1099-INT for the interest amount and a 1099-B for the capital gain portion, as if you received them from the Payer (stock issuer). Both approaches will work, but one is easier than the other.
