asked

I received a 1099-Misc from a law firm for settlement proceeds from a class action lawsuit against our developer within our housing development. The proceeds were net of all lawyer and expert fees and are earmarked for fixing faulty construction on the house. I believe these funds are not taxable as they are to repair damages. How should I report this if it is not taxable, and how do I handle this in TurboTax, which defaults to taxable for all lawsuit settlements?
