Hello. Not sure exactly where to post this, but since it has to do with an FHA complaint about disability discrimination in a rental, thought I would start here.
I am going to get monetary compensation for an FHA complaint filed. Most of it is for the difference between the rent I already paid to the facility I was living in and the lesser rent I would have been paying had the new place allowed me to move in. The other part is compensation for my time put into the complaint. The complaint had to do with disability discrimination.
Will either or both of these parts of the compensation be taxable (federally, as we do not have an income tax in WA)? It has not been awarded yet, as we are ironing out the final conciliation. If taxable, is there wording I should use so that I don't have to be liable for the taxes -- like "$4000 compensation net of taxes"?
Thank you.
