Self employed

Hello Beth,

 

You don't file the 1099-K, you will receive a 1099-k, 1099-misc or 1099-nec from the entity or person giving you the money (Venmo, Cash App, etc).

You would report the income on schedule 1 of your tax return if it is a hobby and no expenses can be taken

If it is a business the you will need to file a schedule C (self employment income). On the schedule C you will list all the income you made cash, 1099-K, 1099-nec or 1099-misc.

You will also list all of your expenses associated with making that income. The expenses will be deducted from the income giving you a net profit/loss
