I worked one day at a church. I didn't receive a tax form.
Where do I enter income earned for one day when I didn't recieve a tax form for the income? Should I enter it as "other income not already reported on a W-2 or 1099? Or should it be entered as "other reportable income"?
Yes, you could enter it as other income. But, Assuming you want the income to count as earned income, for the Earned Income credit (EIC); you need to enter it as self employment. The easiest way is at the 1099-Misc screen. You do not need the payer's ("employer's") Employer ID Number (EIN).
Enter your income at the 1099-Misc screen (even if you didn't get a 1099-misc).
In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab
- Wages & Income
-Scroll down to:
- Other Common Income
-Income from Form 1099-Misc
When asked why you got the 1099-Misc, select “Freelancer or Independent contractor”
The
IRS considers undocumented cash income (no W-2 or 1099-MISC), for work
performed, to be self employment income. If the amount was less than $433, you will not be subject to social security tax
