Self employed

You would enter the income that your wife earned as a photographer's helper as self-employment. If she did not receive a 1099-NEC from the photographer, the income can be entered without a form. If there were any expenses from the weddings, such as mileage or supplies, they can be deducted from the income. The self-employment income and expenses will transfer to a Schedule C that will be included in your return.

 

To enter your 1099-NEC, please follow the steps below:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Search for 1099-NEC with the magnifying glass tool at the top of the page.
  3. Click on the Jump to 1099-NEC link at the top of the search results.
  4. Click Add a 1099-NEC.
  5. Enter the information as shown on your form.

Please see this TurboTax Help article to see where to report your expenses.
