Yes, you should report foreign unemployment benefits from another country. As the unemployment benefits are not foreign earned income, they are not eligible to be excluded from income on your U.S. tax return.
You can enter the foreign unemployment benefits as Miscellaneous Income, using these steps:
- Click on Federal Taxes > Wages & Income [If you're in TT Self-Employed: Personal > Personal Income ]
- In the Less Common Income section , click on the Start/Update box next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C. [See Screenshot #1, below.]
- On the Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income screen, click the Start/Update box next to Other reportable income. [Screenshot #2]
- On the screen, Any Other Taxable Income? click the Yes box. [Screenshot #3]
- On the next screen, Other Taxable Income, enter a description and the amount. Click Continue. [Screenshot #4]
- The amount entered will appear on line 21 of the 1040.
