In the "personal info" section it asks Occupation. Does this mean the job I'm involved with presently, or the job/ jobs I worked at the year I'm filing for?

Because I'm presently not working, should I type "unemployed"?

You can use any occupation you had which earned you income in 2015. If none, then go ahead and put "unemployed" into the field.

Put the job title you had the longest during tax year 2015.

That makes the most sense even though the IRS knows who I work/worked for in 2015. thanks
