Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your income from Rover is considered self-employment income and is reported on Schedule C.   You do not need to tax document to report the income, use the ''Other Self-Employment Income'' option when you get to the income questions.  

 

To set up your business (Schedule C):

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Search for schedule c and click the Jump to link in the search results.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
    • If you've already entered self-employment work and need to enter more, select Add another line of work.  Add all of your dog sitting income on the same Schedule C, you would only start a new line of work if you have self-employment income reported from a different type of work.  
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions.

When you set up your business, use your name and address, not Rover's - they are your client and you own your own business.   The only reference to Rover should be when you enter the income.  You can use ''Rover Pay Pal receipts'' for the description.
