Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes. The income is considered business income and should be reported.
Currently Form 1099-K income is not entered separately as an income form, but gets reported along with other similar income.
TurboTax Deluxe will handle a limited Schedule C, which is the minimum you will need to report this "self-employment" income (income from 1099-K or 1099-MISC are considered self-employment). BUT you will not be able to enter expenses incurred with this income.
To enter your Uber income in TurboTax Deluxe (or Premier), please follow these steps:
- Click on Federal Taxes > Wages & Income.
- Scroll down to the Other Common Income section.
- Click on the Start/Revisit box next to Form 1099-MISC [See Screenshot #1, below.]
- On the screen Did you get a 1099-MISC? click on the Yes button (even though you got a 1099-K). [Screenshot #2]
- Enter the employer information from the 1099-K.
- Enter the amount from Box 1a of your 1099-K in Box 7 (Nonemployee Compensation) of the 1099-MISC entry screen. [Screenshot #3]
- Continue through the interview screens, entering the requested information.
If you wish to deduct expenses connected to your Uber income, you will need TurboTax Self-Employed. Please follow these steps to enter your business income and expenses:
- Click on the Business tab > Continue > I'll choose what to work on
- In the Business Income and Expenses section, click the Start/Update button.
- If you have already started adding information about your business, click on the Edit box next to the business. [Screenshot #4]
- If you haven't already started adding business information, continue through the screens to enter the needed information.
- You will now be on the screen Your [business type] Business. In the Business Income section, click on the Start/Update box.
- On the Business Income screen, click on the Start/Update box next to the appropriate category of income—in your case General Income (1099-k). [Screenshot #5]
- Once you're finished inputting your income, you will be brought back to the Business Summary screen. Continue through the other categories.
- You will be brought back to the list of businesses. Click Done if you have no other businesses to enter.
Click Done with Business on the next screen.
