What do i do if i never recieved a 1099-k

[Vanessa A]

Enter your income from your records.  You do not need to have a 1099-K to enter the income from self-employment. 

To enter your self-employment income select the following:

1. Federal
2. Income and Expenses
3. Show More next to Self-Employment
4. Start next to Self-Employment
5. Yes, to you have any self-employment income or expenses
6. Enter the type of self-employment work you do and you can select that you use your name for your business
7. Click through a few more screens and you will get to a screen that says "Your XX info"
8. Click Looks good
9. Then you will come to a screen that says Let's enter the income for your business.  It will give you the option of 1099-NEC or Other self-employed income including the 1099K , cash and checks. 
10. If you do not select one, it will not let you enter your income
11. Enter your self-employment income on the next screen
12. Continue and on the next screen click add expenses

* Please note navigation may differ slightly depending on which version of TurboTax you are using*

The income and expenses as an independent contractor  will be reported on Schedule C which is part of your overall tax return. This also means you will be subject to the 15.3% SE Tax.

I already posted my income & expense when I was filling out the federal section, now I am at the part where it’s asking for a 1099-k, do I just put the same income I reported earlier if it was my only source of income?

If you reported the income earlier, you don't report it again. Make sure if you reported this as self-employed income, you list the 1099 K as the income source. It is listed as option to report income in your self-employment income section. 

I don't know why you are getting this section unless you are reporting this also in the other common income section.  Leave that alone if you are, or else you will be doubling up on reporting your income and making the IRS happy in the meantime.

If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.
