affiliation or veteran status or any other forms of
discrimination or claims growing out of * * * [AT&T’s]
termination of its employees. With respect to any
charges that have been or may be filed concerning
events or actions relating to my employment or the
termination of my employment and which occurred on or
before the date of this * * * [release/waiver], I
additionally waive and release any right I may have to
recover in any lawsuit or proceeding brought by me, an
administrative agency, or any other person on my behalf
or which includes me in any class.
As the parties have stipulated, before the relevant
documents/releases/waivers were signed by him, petitioner “had
not made any claim against AT&T arising out of his employment”,
he “had not threatened, nor brought to the attention of AT&T, the
possibility of a claim against AT&T arising out of his
employment”, and he “was not aware of any emotional or physical
harms that he * * * [might] have suffered that were directly or
indirectly caused by his employment with AT&T”.
The lump-sum payment and the periodic payments that
petitioner received in 1995 were included in the wages reported
on a Form W-2 issued to petitioner by AT&T for that year.
On his 1995 Federal income tax return, petitioner reported
the periodic payments received in 1995, but did not report the
lump-sum payment. In the notice of deficiency, respondent
determined that the lump-sum payment must be included in
petitioner’s 1995 income.
