    Depends on what kind of settlement.  Tell us more.

    Obviously from the vagueness of your question you are most likely not a tax preparer and a do-it-yourselfer... Therefore go to TurboTax and do it yourself if you are not a tax preparer, as this forum is for tax preparers who use Pro Series...

    The proceeds were received from BP/Haliburton related to an oil spill that caused my client damages.
