Get your taxes done using TurboTax

This forum is a message board, not a chat line.  You post a question like you did.  Then wait for someone to reply.   This is a public user forum for Turbo Tax.   The people answering are mainly other users like you.  I don't think we can help with  your recycling question.  

 

Sounds like you want to file it as self employment income.  Then you have to calculate the income yourself.  You will fill out schedule C and pay about 15% self employment tax on it in addition to any regular income tax.  I would get a little calendar like a book with the year in it and write down the amount each day you get money.  You need to keep your own records.  And you may have expenses you can write off against the income.
