What if I settled in an employment dispute and the employer wrote the check to me, and I wrote a check to the attorney for fees. Do I need to issue a 1099 to the attorney in that case since I will be claiming a deduction?
Employment settlement discrimination. Settled - payment made to me via check. I paid attorney 33% fee via personal check. Attorney says no need for me to issue 1099, I can deduct above the line.
