It's essentially the "Hazard Pay" bonus the State of Ct paid out in 2023 to those "essential workers" who worked through the COVID period. Full time employees got $1,000, part time $500. State did not take out Federal nor CT taxes on the payment. The State Comptroller send out a notice about filing that wasn't terribly clear on how to enter the form.
"If you are not an employee but the amount in Box 1 is not self-employment (SE) income, report the amount in Box 1 on the "Other Income" line (on Schedule 1 (Form 1040))."
1) Not an employee of whom, the company we work for? In which case we ARE an employee of our employer?
2) How do we enter that on Turbo Tax if that is what we are supposed to do?
Thanks in advance...
