Dave:
First, the article reads as if this fine patriot suffered said indignity in New Mexico but her POE was El Paso...Texas. Interesting...
Second, court awards and court agreed settlements are not subject to income tax.
She lives in NM but the indignity happened at the POE in El Paso.
Didn’t know that the Feds can’t tax court awards and court agreed settlements. That’s good to know, but the attorneys will always get their cut, anyway.
