    Lawyer gave client a 1099Misc (nonemployee comp) for settlement of a workman compensation case. Should be non-taxable. How to get it through with electronic filing and pass IRS review.

    Stick it on line 21 with a statement attached. On one line identify the total amount and the 1099MISC payer ID number. On the next line enter the same number as a negative amount so that the net going to line 21 is zero. Identify the negative number as excluded income under Section 104(a)(1).
