Does anyone know if the interest earned on unclaimed property, in this case $110, qualify as an "uncommon situation"? I have never received this and am not sure.

The explanation on "Learn more" doesn't cover my question.

You can report this interest as "other income" in TurboTax.

 

You can do this as follows using TurboTax Online:

  1. Go to the "Wages & Income" section of TurboTax
  2. Select "I'll Choose What to Work On"
  3. Scroll down to "Less Common Income"
  4. Select "Start or Update" next to Miscellaneous Income"
  5. Scroll down to "Other Reportable Income "
  6. Select Start or Update"
  7. Enter your income on the page that says "Other Taxable Income" (you can use "interest on unclaimed property" as your description)
  8. Select "Continue"
  9. Answer all of the follow-up screens.
