Need to add earned money from prison

Follow these instruction for reporting income that is not  reported on a W-2:

Other income not reported on Form W-2 must be reported on line 7 on Form 1040. TurboTax automatically transfers this income to the correct line.

  • Go to Federal Taxes and choose   Wages and Income
  • Scroll to the Less Common Income section and choose Miscellaneous Income (the last choice) 
  • Choose Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099
  •  Answer Yes on the Other Wages Received screen
  • Continue past Wages Earned as a Household Employee and Sick or Disability Pay
  •  Answer Yes on the Any Other Earned Income screen
  •  Choose Other on the Enter Source of Other Earned Income screen
  •   Enter your income received in prison on the Any Other Earned Income screen.
