Self employed

It is unlikely that the company will issue you a 1099 for $465. 

 

However, you should still report the total amount that was owed to you of $465 on your return. 

 

You can deduct the cancellation fee as a business expense on your return.

 

To enter the income without a 1099, do the following:

 

  1. Go to Wages & Income
  2. Select Self-Employment
  3. In the "COMMON INCOME" section, choose "Other self employed income, includes cash and checks", since you do not have a 1099
  4. In the "Expenses Category", enter the cancellation fee amount
