For taxable settlements, the trust company, on behalf of the assignment company, will issue a 1099-MISC to the payee during the year(s) that payments are made. The claimant then reports payments as ordinary income for tax purposes.
What kind of payments schedule can be created using a Treasury Funded Structured Settlement™ (TFSS) ?
A TFSS can be structured to pay monthly, semi-annually, annually, or in periodic lump sums, up to a period of 30 years. The payments are customized to meet the claimant’s present and future needs during the time of settlement.
