Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Be sure you are not inside a business to enter the form. You need to be on the main income screen. The online and desktop programs are a little different. The key points are that you have to mark:

  • no intent to earn money 
  • mark that the income is only for this tax year. Otherwise the program will think it is recurring income and a business.
  • mark no to like main job
