[Poltax75]

My Client's LLC  received a mutually agreed court settlement for damages to property, mostly research results and documents, used in his business.

He received  A 1099-MISC with the amount shown in line 3 (Other Income) $70k

He also has legal fees which were not covered by the settlement. This his specifically stated in the settlement

What is the best way to report this on Schedule C.

[sjrcpa · Accepted solution]

The $70K is reported as part of the income.

The legal fees are deducted on the legal and professional services line.

As they say on Family Feud - good answer.
