Retirement tax questions

If your husband worked a job for cash and they did not deduct Social Security and Medicare taxes, the income needs to be reported in the Self Employment section of TurboTax.

 

To find the self-employment section 

  • Click on Federal in the left-hand black menu
  • Click on Wages and Expenses
  • Scroll down to Self Employment
  • Click on Self Employment Income and Expenses.

Self-employment income is subject to both income taxes and Self Employment taxes (SS and Medicare tax). If you have expenses for the job you can enter them in the self-employment section, however, you will have to upgrade the software. If you have no expenses then you are good to go. You can see more here.
