Amber Heard Settles With Johnny Depp, IRS Tax Problems Remain (Forbes)

Amber Heard's case was personal, not business, so she probably cannot deduct her settlement payment to Depp or even her legal fees.

This harsh tax rule usually means plaintiffs must figure a way to deduct their 40% fee, maybe one of the [12 ways to deduct legal fees under new tax laws](http://www.woodllp.com/Publications/Articles/pdf/12_Ways.pdf). Parties need to be creative in looking for [ways to deduct their legal fees](http://www.woodllp.com/Publications/Articles/pdf/12_Ways.pdf). [tax on legal settlements](http://www.woodllp.com/Publications/Articles/pdf/New_Tax_On_Litigation_Settlements.pdf). The lack of tax deduction for the legal fees is especially painful, given the cost of legal bills. If the lawyer is entitled to 40%, the plaintiff generally will receive only the net recovery after the fees. But the tax deduction case for Heard is considerably weaker. The IRS could say this was still a personal matter, just one that had business repercussions, but Depp and his tax people could likely still claim deductions. Heard was awarded $2 million in damages, so the tally before appeal was Depp $10,350,000, and Heard $2M. Depp could argue that he sued to protect his business, and the IRS might well buy that. Both Depp and Heard spent big on legal fees for this case. [Amber Heard has settled her messy defamation case](https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2022/12/19/amber-heard-settles-defamation-case-with-johnny-depp/) with Depp for an undisclosed sum.

As the trial played out on air, online, and on social media, questions arose about the role of social media, Hollywood in general, and the legacy of #MeToo, among other hot-button issues. William Hughes: The “how” is all about money, I think: This felt like a big turning point for attention grifters realizing just how much cash and followers there were in riding and amplifying a story like this, which has so many aspects that activate people’s brains to these red-line extremes. It’s pretty clear, from the testimony, that this was an unhealthy and dysfunctional relationship between two people who almost certainly shouldn’t have been in each others’ lives. This trial became a reality show for many, who tuned into to see the “drama” play out in real-time.
