I was given a 1099-MISC as part of a lawsuit settlement for an old job. When I try to file, "Check This Entry" pops up and I can't check the box they want me to check?

Legal settlements that are taxable (including previously deducted medical expenses related to physical injury or illness) are entered as miscellaneous (other) income.

If you received a 1099-MISC:

1. Sign into TurboTax and open or continue your return.
2. Search for 1099-misc and select the Jump to link.
3. If you're asked, Did you get a 1099-MISC? answer Yes.
   1. If you have already entered a 1099-MISC, select Add Another 1099-MISC
4. Enter the information from your 1099-MISC and select Continue.
5. On the Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC screen,
   enter lawsuit settlement and select Continue.
