Re: What can I do?
Do not include in your income compensatory damages for personal physical injury or physical sickness (whether received in a lump sum or installments).
Emotional distress itself is not a physical injury or physical sickness, but damages you receive for emotional distress due to a physical injury or sickness are treated as received for the physical injury or sickness. Do not include them in your income.
