Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you can disregard it because it is considered De minimus.  However, that does not mean that the IRS will not discover it and send out a notice for the $16.  Just keep records to show that you are aware of the transaction and decided it cost more to include it in taxes.

 

You can also be creative and show the $16.00 as other income with an explanation.  A single transaction for such a small amount should not cause a problem.

 

Here is how to enter Other Income:

 

  1. Click on Federal > Wages & Income.
  2. Scroll down to the Less Common Income section.
  3. Click on the Start/Revisit box next to Miscellaneous Income.
  4. Scroll to Other Reportable Income Click Start/Revisit.
  5. Enter the Description and amount.
