You can enter the income reported on your Form 1099-K (along with any cash or checks you received) as self-employment income on Schedule C.

This is different from entering a 1099-K for personal items sales or hobby income

Here's how to do it, using TurboTax Online Premium:

  • Open or continue your return.

  • Go to Schedule C.

  • Answer the questions about your business and its expenses until you get to the Enter details screen.

    • If you’re returning to Schedule C, select Review or Edit next to your work and then answer the questions about your business.

  • Select Add income for this work.

  • On the Let's enter the income for your work screen, select Form 1099-K and Continue.

  • Enter your 1099-K info.
