Question

Should I include my 1099-misc from a lawsuit settlement even if I did not receive any check for the amount on the 1099-misc?

It depends on what the money was for and where the check went and who received the payment?

 

If the check was used on your behalf and it was not for a settlement that is specifically excluded from taxation such as a personal injury settlement, then yes, you will need to include it on your return.  

 

If the check was used to pay medical bills from a personal injury settlement, then no, you would not include it on your return.
