If you received a 1099 Misc for work you performed for someone with income reported as nonemployee compensation, then yes, that would generally be considered earned income.

If it was a 1099 for interest, dividends, sale of property, cancellation of debt, rental properties or something else you did not actually work to earn, then generally it is not considered earned income.
