Thank You Diane,
Yes, very unclear. The question should be worded differently to state that your intent was to have earned income, not that your intention was to earn income. In fact, better to just go with "Was this earned or unearned income". Then add "other" to the list of "unusual circumstances" (though I'd hardly call earning interest unusual). Again, if you use the forms method, it's easy. The "other" checkbox is right where it should be. The walk through just doesn't get you there. It should.
