Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Since you are not in the trade or business of providing care-giving services, any income you receive for taking care of your father would NOT be reported as Non-employee compensation, and you would NOT owe self-employment tax on it.

Instead, you would report the full amount as "Other Income" on Line 21 of your tax return.
