Get your taxes done using TurboTax
First, revisit the section for the Self-employment tax deferral entry:
- Return to the Deductions & Credits section.
- Scroll to Tax relief related to COVID-19 and Show More.
- Select Self-employment tax deferral and select Revisit.
- Answer Yes at the next screen to get back to Let's start by getting your eligible income.
- If you do not want to defer any self-employment income, "Enter your eligible self-employment income" should be blank.
- Select Continue.
- At Tell us how much you'd like to defer, "Enter amount" should be blank.
- Select Continue.
- If you do not want to defer any self-employment income, "Enter your eligible self-employment income" should be blank.
- Scroll down and select Wrap up Tax Breaks and Continue.
- At Charitable Cash Contributions under Cares Act, if you made cash donations to eligible organizations, enter the amount up to $300 for all taxpayers except married filing separate, who would each have a maximum of $150 and Continue. Otherwise, leave this section blank, do not add 0 if this is not applicable.
- I recommend running through the Federal Review again
Just to confirm, reporting Form 1099-K on Schedule C is when you are operating a trade or business. If Form 1099-K was from selling personal items, much like from a garage sale, then there is another way to report that income.
If that applies to you, first, delete Self-employment income & expenses completely by returning to that section and clicking the trash can icon.
Then, follow these steps:
- From the left menu, go to Federal and select the first tab, Wages & Income
- Add more income by scrolling down to the last option, Less Common Income, and Show more
- Scroll down to the last option, Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C and Start
- Choose the last option, Other reportable income and Start and Yes
- Enter the applicable description and amount and Continue
- First, enter Form 1099-K as received. It is essential that the full amount be entered. Be sure to include in the description: Personal Property Sales (For example, the entries were Description Personal Property Sales and 100)
- Next, repeat this process with the cost of the items sold. The IRS allows a deduction for personal property up to the amount of the sale.
- You should be at Other Miscellaneous Income Summary with the Personal Property Sales amount listed.
- Select +Add Another Income Item on the lower left side.
- At Other Taxable Income enter Cost of Personal Property for description and the negative amount and Continue. (To continue with the example, the amount would be -100.)
- Now returned to Other Miscellaneous Income Summary, select Done.
