I need some LEGAL advice for tax deductions this year. The main concern is a settlement I am receiving from a personal injury case involving a car accident. Anyone care to advise?
It's my understanding that compensatory damages (lost wages) are taxable but Pain & suffering are notDamages for pain and suffering are compensatory damages.
Jim, hire a professional. Legal advice over the internet isn't privileged, gives you no defense in an audit and no rights against the professional if the advice turns out to be bad. And since no reputable professional would offer advice in this fashion, anything you get wouldn't be reliable.
