Settlement agreement. Employer Discrimination and Harassment

[Wayne Shellner]

I have a client that is receiving a settlement for discrimination and harassment from a past employer, a nondisclosure is present. She is receiving one 1099 for personal injuries and emotional distress. And a second 1099 for attorney fees. I know the attorney fees are temporarily not deductible as a miscellaneous expense on schedule A. But what are the qualifications for the above-the-line deduction for discrimination awards.

Thank you in advance for any information on this subject.

Thank you Lee.

I did check the Big Book prior to sending out the question. I wasn’t sure if anyone had run into any additional requirements or concern's for the deduction.
