Program Summary

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.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Needed settlement language in taxable cases
  • Ways to minimize employment and income tax
  • What to do when plaintiff can’t deduct legal fees
