Self employed

got it, thank you SO much! it's approx 26k, but it's not really money. Amazon estimates a "tax value" of items that they send to us for "free" we just have to post an honest review on the Amazon website. None of the items get sold, I don't make a penny off of it. There are no detailed records, there is no business process or an LLC name, it certainly is not something we could live off of. It's just this arbitrary number that Amazon gives as a tax value, and then they compile it and send the 1099-NEC out. Up until two years ago it was a 1099-MISC, but now they changed it to NEC so everyone in the program is a bit nervous about it, because this isn't something any of us treat as a business or profit from, yet we all got NEC's. So just been figuring out the best approach,
