Received Unemployment lump sum payout on appeal from State of CT. I've lived in SC during the entire calendar year. CT taxed payout. How do I handle when filing taxes?

CT considers that CT source income* (many states do not). You have to file a non resident CT return. SC also taxes unemployment compensation, so you have to report it on your SC resident return. But SC will give you a credit (or partial credit) for the tax paid to CT.

"Nonresidents must file Form CT-1040NR/PY and report the unemployment compensation, along with any other Connecticut source income, on Schedule CT-SI of that form."
