Retirement tax questions

No, they normally do not take taxes out of the strike benefits unless you specifically ask them to, they would be on your 1099-MISC in Box 4.   If you followed Lisa995 instructions, it moved the income to Line 8 of Schedule 1 (the new Line 21 Other Income) which may have removed the Self-Employment tax- which is why you want it as Other Income.
