Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I am a retired private citizen and an amateur photographer. A regional magazine has published one of my photographs and paid me $50.00. How do I enter this in TurboTax?

I am not incorporated as a business, and I don't normally even try to earn money from my photography, so I have no idea how to enter this in TurboTax, but I assume I need to enter this $50.00 as income. Any help would be most appreciated.

You need to report this income as Other Reportable Income.

 

In TurboTax, open your return and follow these steps:

  • Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Wages and Income on top of the screen
  • Scroll down to All Income, locate the Less Common Income section
  • Click Show more and click Start next to Miscellaneous Income at the bottom
  • On the next page, click Start next to Other Reportable Income.
