We are not saying that unemployment is "earned" income. The point is that it is TAXABLE income. Read the language in the information from both Social Security and the IRS. It says taxable income. It does not say earned income. You are still confusing "earned" income with "taxable" income -- and they do not mean the same thing.
We are trying to help you understand how the tax was calculated----and it was calculated according to the tax laws. The IRS checks and approves the tax software to make sure it complies with the tax laws.
