State tax filing

To report your First Responder Recognition Payments as taxable income but not as self-employment select the following:

  • Income
  • Show More next to Less Common Income
  • Start next to Misc Income
  • Start next to Other Reportable Income
  • Enter the amount of the money you received and the description.  

This will enter the income on line z of her Schedule 1 with a description which will then flow to line 8 of the 1040.  It will be taxed as ordinary income instead of self-employed income.
