Do I file a 1099 for myself? I had income paid to me by cash. The end of my return says I need to review my 1099. Did I enter the $ in the wrong place?

[KrisD · Accepted solution]

You can enter cash received as other self-employment income. Do not enter 1099 information unless you have a 1099. Enter cash this way:

Sign into your account and click Take me to my return

Click Federal on the left side-bar

Click Income & Expenses along the top of the screen

Scroll down to Self-Employment click Show more

Click Start or Revisit next to Income and Expenses 

Click Edit next to the business name (or add the business)

On the next screen scroll down and click Add income for this work

On the next screen click the button for Additional income and other income. Includes 1099-K, cash, checks, and other income.
