Personal Taxes

Taxability of Reimbursement

My divorce attorney did not submit my financial paperwork to the court properly. As a result, I was required to transfer $40K from my 401(k) to my ex-spouse that I wouldn't have otherwise been required to. I have reached an agreement with my attorney's law firm that they will reimburse me the $40K. The law firm has stated that they will not be providing me with a 1099 form in January. Will this $40K that I receive need to be included in my taxable income when I file my taxes next year?
