약 6년전에 00회계사님 통해서 아무문제 없이 택스리턴 신청했는데 보고가 잘못된것을 모르고 있었어요. 근데 최근에 xx회계사님으로 바꾸면서 옛 택스리턴을 리뷰했는데 잘못된점을 찾으셨다고 하셨어요.제가 00회계사님께 문의 드리니 자기가 알고 있었는데 실수/태만/부주의라고 자기가 갖고 있는 부정요법 보험으로 5만불정도 보상해주셨어요. 이 돈이 제 올해 인컴으로 포함되나요?
Lawsuit Proceeds May Be Taxed
If your insurance claim has evolved into a lawsuit, the tax situation gets more complicated, as you could receive several different forms of compensation, all of which may be taxed in different ways.
Just like a normal insurance settlement, compensation for medical bills and repair of property are not taxed in a lawsuit. However, many types of payout that you may receive as a result of a legal settlement are taxable, whether the case is ultimately settled in or out of court. For example, if someone hits you in an auto accident, you wouldn’t be taxed for a payment you receive for your medical bills. However, if the judge also awards you punitive damages, you would have to pay tax on those. If you do receive taxable payment from a lawsuit, you’ll likely receive a 1099 form to use when filing your taxes.
Common taxable payouts from lawsuits include:
Punitive damages
Lost wages
Pain and suffering (unless caused by a physical injury)
Emotional distress
