Recent Personal Injury and Car Accident News and Cases related to Hawaii
Confidentiality provisions in settlement documents are one way that wrongdoers help to hide their conduct from further responsibility. But there are other problems with such confidentiality provisions that should also cause litigants to reject them. One such problem is that a confidentiality provision may give rise to negative tax consequences. In 2003 the U.S. Tax Court ruled that $80,000 of a $200,000 settlement for Eugene Amos was actually for confidentiality (rather than injuries) and was therefore taxable. Eugene Amos, Jr. v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, U.S. Tax Court Docket No. 13391-01 (Dec 1, 2003). As a result of this decision, Mr. Amos was required to pay income taxes on $80,000 of the funds received from the wrongdoer (Dennis Rodman).
