Do I have to report hobby income?

SOLVED by TurboTax Updated 3 weeks ago

Yes, all income needs to be reported, even if it's from a hobby.

The IRS doesn't allow you to deduct hobby expenses from hobby income, but you can deduct the costs involved in creating the hobby income. You can determine gross income from any not-for-profit activity by subtracting the cost of goods sold from your gross receipts.

Example: Jill works for ABC Marketing Company doing marketing activities. That’s how she pays her bills. In her spare time, she makes fairy houses. She posted a picture on her social media account and someone wanted to buy one. She made $650 selling one of her creations and received a 1099-K.  Jill had paid $50 for materials to create the fairy house, $20 photographing the fairy house and $10 shipping it after it was sold.  Jill cannot deduct the expenses for photographing or shipping the fairy house, however she can deduct the $50 cost of creating the fairy house.
