I had my taxes done recently and I think I was supposed to give the accountant more paperwork than I did?

After I came home from having my taxes done, I found the 2007 IRA contribution information forms 5498 that I forgot to give the accountant. It says all the money that I put into a Simple IRA in 2007. I didn’t take any money out in 2007. Will this affect my tax return? Should I re-do my taxes?

I need to come up with a figure regarding a settlement with an insurance company because of a permanent debilitating injury to myself. The question is about how much I should expect to pay in taxes. (If it matters, I live in the state of Pennsylvania, in Pittsburgh.)

If I am looking to have somewhere between $1 and $5million in my pocket (well, bank) after the lawyer gets 40%, what should I take into consideration for taxes? Are taxes paid before or after the lawyer?

What I’m looking for is pretty much “If you get $1 million, they would have to pay x, if you get $5 million, they would have to pay y, etc.”

Also, if you know anything about the subject, please let me know if you think that I’m asking for too much or too little. Pretty much I’m early 20s and this has ruined the rest of my life, I am in constant pain, need help to live, and am out of treatment options.

Thank you all so much! I know nothing and need help!
