Also here is the IRS definition of a Schedule C business and the link to more information:

Use Schedule C (Form 1040) to report income or loss from a business you operated or a profession you practiced as a sole proprietor. An activity qualifies as a business if:

  • Your primary purpose for engaging in the activity is for income or profit.

 

  • You are involved in the activity with continuity and regularity.
