Deductions & credits

He probably did not give you commission if the state regulates sale agents as most states do. 

 

You should ask if that was a gift, in which case you would need to do nothing. Gifts are not reported by the person that received the gift.

 

If the other person deducted the 2,000 as a selling expense,  you would need to claim it. 

How to report the income in that case, would depend in part by the tax form that person gave you, 1099-MISC or  1099-NEC or something else.

 

If it was cash (or check) and no tax form, you could enter it as 

Income

Less Common Income

Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A 1099-C   START 

 

From there you could choose HOBBY INCOME or OTHER REPORTABLE INCOME
