You would file the house sitting additional income on a Schedule C.  If you don't receive a 1099-MISC from the person/business that you worked for then you would just enter the income in TurboTax.  You would just total up all cash, checks, and credit card income deposits that you received as income in 2016 and enter them, along with your business expenses, on your Schedule C in Turbo Tax. You can list them separately on one Schedule C, or as a total on the same Schedule C. To do this in TurboTax, follow these steps.

Log into your tax return. 

Use the search box in the upper right hand corner. 

Type in "schedule c" in the box. 

This will bring up the "Jump to schedule c" link...click that link. 

From here TurboTax will ask you some specific questions about your business. 

You'll be led through a different screens asking you more questions regarding your business. 

You'll also be taken to a screen to enter your income (this is where you can lump all your income together, or list the specific types...cash, check, or credit card income). 

Once you've entered your income and clicked Done and/or Continue.

Turbo Tax will bring you to the screen for you to choose what expenses you would like to enter onto your tax return
