Bingo ... if you have expenses to list against SE income then you must upgrade to the SE program starting this year ... OR switch to any of the downloaded versions ... OR  switch to the FREEDOM program if you are eligible.

I don't understand... i received a 1099 for under $6500 and it was a side job that i did as an individual not as any type of business???

[fireman152]

I did not have any office expenses or over head. Just material costs that need to come out of the $6500.

Although it may be news to you that you “have a business” (and most of the other people who get their first 1099-MISC); The IRS considers anything in box 7 of 1099-MISC to be self employment income. Enter the 1099-Misc income, at Other Common income / income from a 1099-MISC . TurboTax (TT) will complete Schedule C or C-EZ for you and allow you to deduct any expenses associated with this income.

 You'll also have to pay self employment tax (social security & Medicare) on any profits greater than $400. These types of payments are frequently done this way. Your "employer" is not the only one.

The IRS also considers undocumented cash income (no W-2 or 1099-MISC), for work performed, to be self employment income.
