I have a partner who got paid $13,000 for a Lawsuit settlement. The check says Capital account payout.

Does this need to be reported on the tax return?

Sounds like this was received in exchange for his partnership interest.

The sale of a partnership interest is reported on Schedule D/Form 8949. There may be an ordinary income component to the extent of his share of the partnership's hot assets.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
