Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Even though the host family did not provide a W-2,  you can still report the income in TurboTax  as Other Taxable Income.

 

Go to Federal Taxes -> Wages & Income -> I'll choose what I work on -> scroll to the bottom and under Less Common Income select Start (or Update) for Miscellaneous Income

 

There are several types of other income categories in there. If none of those shown fit the bill,  then pick Other Reportable Income and you can enter your own description(s) and amount(s).

 

If your spouse has a Social Security Number, you can Efile as Married Filing Jointly.  If not, you will need to print and mail your return with Form W-7.

 

Here's more info on how to file your tax return with Form W-7.
