Enter the total amount of cash income, not each individual transaction, in TurboTax.
To enter cash self-employment income:
- Open your return and type Schedule C in the Search box. Select the Jump to link.
- This will take you to where you can enter any cash, personal checks, credit card payments, or cryptocurrency (Form 1099-K) related to your self-employment.
- You may first be asked some general questions about your business. After you answer them, you’ll be taken to the Let's enter the income for your work screen.
- Select Other self-employed income and provide all necessary information.
- Continue with the onscreen interview until complete.
Additional information:
- If it's directly related to the work you do, you can deduct it as an expense.
- Work-related expenses reduce your taxes by lowering the amount of self-employment income you get taxed on. For example, if you made $50,000 in self-employment income and had $5,000 out-of-pocket expenses, you'd only get taxed on $45,000. Click here to review the entire TurboTax FAQ.
