Self-Employed, How to treat a payment of “Appreciation/Honorarium”, received at the end of a business relationship from a company I serviced for years.

Hi,

When the job I was performing for one of the companies I service outgrew my capacity, they contracted another supplier to replace me.  Our relationship spanned many good years, and I was handed a cheque for several thousands of dollars towards no work performed. I was happy to receive the extra money, and assumed it was a gesture of Appreciation & Honorariums.

Am I correct to treat this as cash Taxable benefit, and if so where do I include it using the Online TurboTax Business and Home software? Can I treat it as Other Income?

Please advice ASAP,

Thanks in Advance,

Joe
