Hello. I did some lawn care work for a church last year, and it only to came up to $1,800. I didn't know they were putting it down as a 1099. Can I claim as other income?

No. If you have an amount in Box 7 of a 1099-misc the IRS assumes you are self employed. You must complete Sch C.

That is self employment income.

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version.

It depends on which box they put the income in.

As it was a church, you should have expected they wouldn't pay you under the table.
