i am in texas. i received a settlement in 2000 on a class action lawsuit that involved my car. i bought a car from a dealership that was misrepresenting their vehicles and the finance company was also named in the suit. i paid for the car for 4 years and the reward was to re-pay us for the money we were out. recently i received a 1099 form from the attorney for the amount of the settlement. he said that any settlement money other than personal injury is taxable. i am not sure he is right, as he had stated several times that this was his first class action suit, so i wanted a second opinion. also, i feel i have already paid taxes on the funds involved.
Thank you,
