Tips from the IRS-Unemployment Compensation

Question: Can I collect unemployment since I am a 1099 employee?

I was laid off from my job that I have been at for the past 2 years. I filed as a 1099 employee. I was paid a set amount of money each month, did work from both home and my employers, and used my own equipment. I am also wondering if the fact that I was a W-2 employee before this job for 10 years would matter at all in collecting, if I am not able to as a 1099.

Answer: You would be eligible for unemployment if you had any reported wages during the one year period ending September 30, 2008. Compensation reported on Form 1099 is not wages.
