Plaintiffs are taxed when settling lawsuits for employment and discrimination. With minimal settlement language, they can often avoid tax on portions of their recovery. When they can’t deduct their legal fees, they can use trust solutions that have the same effect. And to defer and reduce tax, they can use a structured settlement. This presentation will walk through their many options and the steps necessary to implement.
