Was rideshare driving my "main form of income?"

I do Uber and Lyft. I only worked Jan-Mar. of last year and honestly, my main form of income is unemployment.

Which one was my "main form of income?" And does it even matter how I answer that question?

No, it does not matter how you answer that question.  It is most likely used to tailor some screens or comments within the TurboTax program as you go through filling in the information for your return.  It is not reported as a part of your tax return.

 

If it did matter, you could compare the total income that you received from the sources (driving and unemployment) to determine which one provided you with the largest portion of your total income.
