Self employed

If you want to deduct expenses you will need to file Schedule C - Profit or Loss from Business (Sole Proprietorship).   To add a Schedule C to your return: 

 

  • Type "Schedule C" in to Search
  • Click on "Jump to Schedule c"
  • TurboTax will guide you through reporting your business income and expenses.

Since the amount is less than $400, you will not be subject to self-employment tax.  If you don't want to deduct expenses, you can report the amount as "Other Income".  To do so:

 

  • Type "Other Income" in Search and hit Enter
  • Click on "Jump to other income"
  •  Answer "No" to "Did you get a 1099-MISC"
  • Continue through the interview till you get to "Less Common Income" and click on it.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Start" next to "Miscellaneous Income, ..."
  • Click on Start next to "Other reportable income"
  • Answer Yes to "Any Other Taxable Income?"
  • Give a description (e.g. Uber Eats) and enter the amount
  • The amount will be reported as "Other Income" on Schedule 1 of Form 1040
