If your husband received a Form 1099-MISC, it indicates that the per capita income is income from Indian gaming proceeds, and is therefore taxable.
In general, the per capita payments issued to a member of Indian tribes are not subject to federal income tax, unless they are from gaming proceeds.
Per the IRS:
“If you are a member of a federally recognized tribe and have received income from tribal per capita distributions or from Indian gaming proceeds, here is some important information.
Reported on a 1099-MISC income statement, this income should be included on Line 21 of Form 1040, with a description. The correct description will allow the return to process as quickly as possible! For paper or e-file returns, please enter one of the following descriptions on Line 21:
Indian Gaming Proceeds
Indian Tribal Distrib
Native American Distrib"
