Yes, you are required to report the income. And you will owe some self employment tax. Assuming your parents can claim you as a dependent, be sure you indicate that someone else can claim you when you prepare your return.
You are welcome. Be sure that you deduct expenses such as gas for the mower when determining how much of your income is taxable.
Oh, I misunderstood. Sorry. So yes, you do need to report it is business income.
Well, from an IRS perspective you have a lawn mowing business in addition to your full time job. This will generate a Schedule C or C-EZ and a Schedule SE.
My dad is a landscaper and makes cash. Can he file taxes. He never received any of his stimulus checks
Yes, he should file his landscaper income as self employment. A document is not required and all income received for services must be included on his tax return.
He should have a record of his receipts, customers, etc., to show his business activity. A separate bank account is very helpful and recommended to show both income and expenses related to the business.
Schedule C is supported in TurboTax Self-Employed (both online and in the mobile app) and in all personal 1040 versions of the TurboTax CD/Download software.
