Wages not reported on W2
My husband retired in 2019, but worked a part time job for a short while and was paid $1700 in cash. He didn't receive a W2. How do I report this income.
Thanks.
If your husband worked a job for cash and they did not deduct Social Security and Medicare taxes, the income needs to be reported in the Self Employment section of TurboTax.
To find the self-employment section
- Click on Federal in the left-hand black menu
- Click on Wages and Expenses
- Scroll down to Self Employment
- Click on Self Employment Income and Expenses.
Self-employment income is subject to both income taxes and Self Employment taxes (SS and Medicare tax). If you have expenses for the job you can enter them in the self-employment section, however, you will have to upgrade the software. If you have no expenses then you are good to go. You can see more here.
