1099 Union Representative income for a Teacher, how do I record this? Is this considered other income or Profit or Loss from a Business Schedule C

[Cindy0H]

The IRS would consider this a business on Schedule C. The good news is that you can deduct any expenses you might have related to being a union rep.

You can enter it as 1099MISC. TurboTax will guide you and then it will be considered self-employment. Here's how:

• Selecting the Federal Tab
• Selecting Income and Expenses
• Following the prompts to enter the Form 1099-MISC income
• Checking Yes when asked if the income earned was not part of your regular job.
• Continuing through the prompts
• Checking Yes when asked if it was your intent to earn money
• Checking No when asked if you have any other Forms 1099-MISC

Be sure to visit the Business and Income Expenses section so that you can enter your union expenses.
