One of my players has as +1 Longsword that deals slashing damage. It has no other magical properties and does not require attunement.
In regards to a creature that has "resistance to damage from non-magical weapons", does a +1 Weapon deal magical or non-magical damage?

I don't see how this is a duplicate of the linked question. I believe this question is "Is a +1 longsword magical?" while the linked question is about what magic items do

Whereas I don't see how they aren't duplicates. "Does damage from a +1 weapon count as magical damage (for the purposes of bypassing a creature's 'resistance to damage from non-magical weapons' as implied by the body text)?" and "Do magic weapons bypass a monsters' resistance to non-magic weapons?" are, in my mind, exactly the same. If the OP is in fact asking if a +1 longsword is magical then that needs to be clarified.

Is this a standard item or a homebrew?

@NautArch it is Talon, the +1 Longsword that is written into the Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign.

Ask your DM
The only item in published material that matches this description is a +1 weapon (DMG 213), which is a magical item and thus bypasses resistance to non-magical damage.
However your DM is free to invent any item. Possibly the sword is of such craftsmanship that it performs better in combat. In that case it might not be considered to deal magical damage.
