Yes, this is similar to unemployment but not the same as state unemployment. It is subject to federal, state and local taxes.
To enter the 1099 Misc as non-self-employment income take the following steps:
- Income
- 1099-MIsc under Other Common Income
- Enter the information from the 1099-MIsc
- Continue through and say the work does NOT involve work that is like your main job
- Select the years you received it
- Say no, to did this involve an intent to earn money
This will cause it to be treated as income but not as self employment income.
