    If you do handyman work regularly, the IRS considers you to be in business and you should file as self-employed.

     

    Otherwise, enter this as “other income”.

    • Click Federal in the left column
    • Click Wages & Income at the top
    • Scroll down to Less Common Income. Click Show more
    • Start Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
    • Start Other reportable income
    • Say Yes to Any Other Taxable Income?
    • Enter a description (handyman) and amount ($150)
