Hi there,
I'm a self employed mobile notary. For example a signing service will pay me $100 to complete a loan signing. Generally I perform 5-7 notarial certificates per loan signing. I'm in CA so I can charge up to $15 per notarial act. In 2021, I performed 412 notarial acts, so that equals: $6180.
I made a total of $4190 from 1099s in 2021 from signing services. Do I enter that total amount as reportable income, put in my expenses on the schedule C, then list the $6180 as miscellaneous income? Or do I deduct the $6180 from the $4190 and put in a negative earning of -$1990 on the Schedule C and enter all of my expenses?
Thanks so much.
