Thank you so much for your response! I really appreciate it!
You're saying that $21,000 is not business income because I didn't earn it due to selling a product or service, for example, but I received it as payment for the work I did for the non-profit, correct?
I checked my 1040 and that $21,000 was reported in line 8 in Schedule 1.
When I respond to the IRS, I would assume it's best to be as specific as possible? Can you also elaborate on why the money should not be subject to SE tax? I just want to make sure I fully understand when I respond to the IRS.
Thank you again!!
