The IRS considers undocumented cash
income (no W-2 or 1099-MISC), for work performed, to be self employment income.
Enter at "Business Income & Expenses" and TurboTax (TT) will
complete Schedule C or C-EZ for you and allow you to deduct any expenses
associated with this income. You'll also have to pay self employment tax
(social security) on any profits greater than $400.
There is an exception
to income from babysitting and house cleaning being subject to self-employment
tax.. You have "household employee" wages. If no single employer paid your more than $2000, and you sat/worked in their home, not yours, you may be able to
avoid the self employment tax. But, you will also not get credit for these
wages with the Social Security Administration, for future benefits.
You may have to upgrade to the Self Employed version of TT for self employment income
