Client who is KY resident received unemployment from Indiana and Indiana state tax was withheld.  KY and IN are reciprocal states.  Does Indiana tax the KY resident for the unemployment paid to KY resident by Indiana Division of Unemployment?

Reciprocity generally only applies to wages.

Look at the Indiana instructions for nonresident returns and see what they say.

Even if IN doesn't tax it, client will need to file to get a refund of the IN withholding.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Indiana does tax unemployment but Indiana does not tax residents of reciprocal states for Indiana unemployment.    You will need to complete ITPNR to get refund for any state/county taxes withheld.
