Question

I received liquidated damages and backpay from my previous employer. The 1099-NEC that I received lists only the damages but not the backpay.

Box one has the damages - which I don't pay taxes on so it shows no federal withholding (box). But I did pay state and federal on the backpay. And neither the backpay or taxes paid show up on the 1099 so I don't know where to enter that

To clarify, are you sure it's on Form 1099-NEC and not 1099-MISC.

Are you self-employed or a contractor?

Yes its a 1099-NEC. It wasn't a lawsuit which is what entered in turbotax since it seemed most applicable; it was a settlement mandated by the department of labor
