Thank for your reply. Last year, I didn’t even have the option on TurboTax to input the >$200 I made on Etsy, though I wasn’t self-employed with my main job. I’m not sure if I’m going to make even $400 this year, so I don’t know how to report that since Etsy supposedly won’t send me a 1099 unless I make $20k in a year (hence my aforementioned laughter when I saw that number). Unless you’re saying that I wouldn’t need the 1099 and just need to report the total number between the two jobs and not have the reported number match the 1099 I will have? And as far as the original question, too, you’re saying that I can’t put down the paint, for example, that I need to run my Etsy shop in the same list of materials for tax deductions that I keep for my contracting job?
