I just received a settlement check for a class action relating to a
stock investment I held and sold several years ago.
I'm thinking I should report that amount as a long term capital gain
rather than miscellaneous income because it is effectively offsetting
some of the long term capital loss I reported for the year in which I
sold that stock.
Am I correct?
