asked

I received money from an age discrimination case in California. Part was for wages and part for pain and suffering. Taxes were taken out on the wage compensation, and my attorney received the pain and suffering money, deducting his fees before sending me a check. I also received a 1099 for that amount. Do I have to pay taxes on the pain and suffering money? Are the attorney fees deductible or just not reported on my taxes? I have no medical claims related to the pain and suffering (emotional or physical).
