I might be receiving a sizable check from an employer for agreeing not to sue. Is there a legal way for them to give it to me so it's not taxable as income?


ANSWER


Expert Linda Burroughs's Answer:

Based on IRC 61, the income would be classified as other income and fully taxable in the year of receipt.
