NC Unclaimed Property sent us net proceeds from sale of stock which had been my late grandfather's. Is this still taxable income? We received no tax forms.

I have since discovered that the stock does still exist although my grandfather’s shares have been liquidated. if we have now been able to determine approximate value per share based on date/week of my grandfathers passing, should this be filed as sale of stock instead of miscellaneous income? if so what further information might we need to gather from unclaimed property of NC? Number of shares sold? Date sold?

Yes, this income is taxable.  To report it:

• Click on your Federal Taxes tab and then the Wages & Income tab in that section.
• Scroll all the way down to the section called Less Common Income.
• Choose Miscellaneous Income at the bottom of the list, and then
• Choose Other Reportable Income at the bottom of that section.
• You'll be prompted to enter a description and an amount.  You can name it "unclaimed property"
• TurboTax will calculate any applicable taxes for you.
• Click Continue when you are finished.
