Self employed

If you are both, Self-Employed but also hold a W-2 job, report the Self-Employed income on Schedule C and the W-2 as personal income. 

 

Is this something else?  What tax form was used to report your income? 

 

Some Taxpayers are self-employed but are also considered a "Statuary Employee". An example would be a real Estate Agent that works for a specific Broker. These employees get Form 1099-NEC and file schedule C for that income. 

 

At one time, some W-2 employees were able to claim work expenses, similar to a self-employed taxpayer, but that was eliminated except for:

 

  • Armed Forces reservists.
  • Qualified performing artists.
  • Fee-basis state or local government officials.
  • Employees with impairment-related work expenses.
