Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As the amount is less than $600, you will not receive a form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC from the principal, but you still have to report this income on your tax return.

 

If this a "one time thing" with no intention of making a profit, then this amount can be reported as Other reportable income.

 

See this IRS document.

 

In TurboTax Online, open your return and follow these steps:

 

  1. Click on Wages and Income
  2. Navigate to the list of income categories
  3. Locate the Less Common Income section and click on the arrow on the right
