    If I received unempolyment in 2009 can I file self-employment on my taxes
    I was told I should not file self-employment on my taxes because the would put me in TROUBLE with IRS OR UNEMPLOYMENT.

    You were technically "employed" by unemployment and drew a "salary" i.e. your weekly benefits. You can't file self employment as you will owe much more in taxes than you would if you filed that you were employed by unemployment.
