Self employed
Here's how to enter tips from self-employment in TurboTax Online:
- Go to the Self-Employment topic under Income in the Federal section
- Answer Yes on the Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? screen.
If you land on the Your 2025 self-employed work summary page, select Review next to the work you're adding income for. - Answer the questions on the following screens until you arrive at Let's enter the income for your work.
- Select Other self-employed income. Select the checkbox if you have tips to report.
- Tips that qualify for the deduction are on a 1099 form and are included in the gross income box of the form. The forms don’t have a separate box just for tips.
- Tips that aren’t included in the gross income box of a 1099 form are not currently eligible for the tips deduction. If your tips weren’t included on a 1099 form, then your tips aren’t deductible.
You can still report these tips on your tax return, even if they aren't eligible for the deduction right now. Their eligibility may change in the future. If it does, then your tips info will already be saved in TurboTax.
