I am a retired insurance property adjuster. I worked for a company after I retired that does house inspections for Allstate Insurance (not my prior employer). I have a question that asks if this job involves work similar to my main job. It would of I was still working as an adjuster - but I am retired - so I would think the correct answer is - No-it does not involve work similar to my main job.
Is this correct?
No. If the 1099-MISC involved compensation for "working" (including providing goods, personal services, consulting, etc.) then say yes.
The question is trying to figure out if the income is "unearned" (like a contest prize, a student stipend) or "earned" from "work."
