Yes, you do. Schedule C reports Profit or Loss From Business. You would enter 100% of the income and then you would enter the feed and farrier/ blacksmith services, etc., as expenses. You are also able to deduct your mileage.

The IRS may consider you to be self-employed and have your own business if: 

  • Money you earn as a contractor, consultant, freelancer, or other independent worker.
  • It's reported on 1099-MISC (Box 7), 1099-K (Box 1a), or as cash, check or credit card sales transactions.
  • Requires you to complete Schedule C.
  • You can deduct expense related to the income.
  • Requires you to pay self-employment tax.

 

If your self-employment income was only from cash or personal checks or credit card payments:

  • Type sch c in the Search box.
  • Click on “Jump to” link. 
  • This will take you to where you can enter any cash, personal checks or credit card payments (Form 1099-K) related to your self-employment.
  • You may be asked some general questions about your business. 
  •  After you answer them, you’ll be taken to the Your XXX Business screen where you can enter this income as Additional Income under Business Income. 

If you received a  1099-MISC   for your  self-employed income   :

  • Type 1099-misc in the Search box.
  • Click on “Jump to” link.
  • This will take you directly to the section where you can enter your 1099-MISC.
  • You’ll also be able to enter any cash, personal checks or credit card payments (Form 1099-K) related to your self-employment.

 

You can also enter your related business expenses.

  • At the 'Your xxxx Business' screen, scroll down to Business Expenses.
  • To enter expenses like certification, cell phone and office supplies, click start/update next to Other Common Business Expenses
  • To enter vehicle expenses click start/update next to Business Vehicle Expense
