@Opus 17 Thank you for your clear answer. I have W-2 earnings plus a 1099-MISC with a few hundred bucks. It's been really confusing trying to figure out whether I have to claim the 1099. I wish the IRS site would be so clear. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/self-employed-individuals-tax-center
I don't understand what you are asking, the discussion that you posted your add-on message to is already quite confusing. You may want to post a new discussion topic.
All income is presumed taxable unless you can prove otherwise. A 1099-MISC means someone paid you for something, the IRS will assume that's taxable income. Exactly how to report it depends on what kind of income it is, and you didn't provide enough details.
