In the settlement, the client received 2/3 and the attorney received 1/3. Can the client deduct that 1/3 on his schedule C. The client got 1/3 as a W2 and the second 1/3 on a 1099 NEC which drives a schedule C

Don't blindly enter tax forms into the software. Most likely it should be on a 1099-MISC. Get the legal documents and find out EXACTLY what the payment was for.
