Hello,

In Janury 20, 2018 ( this year) I got the compensation money for my personal injury case.

The defendant paid settlement money of $13,500 to my lawyer and my lawyer gave me $5,500 to me after he deducted lawyer fee and medical fee.

That is, my income is only $5,500, not $13,500.

However, today I received the tax form from the defendant. in the form my income was indicated as $13,500.

(1) how can I solve this problem?( the incorrect amount)

(2) The defendant paid the settlement amount of $13,500 to my lawyer in NOvember of 2017.
But the lawyer gave me $5,500 to me In this year ( 01-20-2018).
so my income happened in 2018.

in this case is it considered as income of the year 2017?
