Is social security considered as nonqualified retirement income?

If you are referring to qualified versus non-qualified retirement plans, no, Social Security is not considered a non-qualified or qualified retirement plan.

Non-qualified plans are those that are not eligible for tax-deferral benefits ERISA.
Qualified plans are designed to offer individuals added tax benefits on top of their regular retirement plans. Here are some examples of Qualified plans: 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, SARSEP plans, SEP-IRA plans, and SIMPLE IRA plans.

That you are asking that question is a clue that you are trying to enter your SSA1099 in the wrong place.

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.
