@Irene2805 Thank you for the detailed instructions. When I followed them, Schedule C was not created. However, to clarify, is that the right thing to do based on my situation? The answers to the questions do not sound like reality:
- Did it involve work that's like your main job? No. --- In reality, it was my main job and only job.
- No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money. --- Since it was my job, it did involve an intent to earn money.
I would like to make sure that the steps instructed are not just meant as a workaround to not create a Schedule C, but also legitimate in terms of tax compliance.
