1099

Jamahallaw — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 15:25:16 GMT

My wife is a teacher. She was W-2. I work at trader Joe's. I'm also W-2. I also do refereeing for high school sports that is a 1099. Am I supposed to file completely jointly with a 1099?

You and your wife can file a Married filing Jointly return. Enter both w-2s, making sure to indicate who each form belongs to. Then you will add a Schedule C to your return for your 1099. That is self-employment income and gets reported on Schedule C, which is a business schedule.

You can use your name and home address for the business, but the Schedule belongs to you and will be part of your jointly filed return.

I need to enter a 1099 - Am I Self-Employed? As a self-employed coach, umpire, or referee, here are some additional expenses you can deduct:

Tools, supplies, and equipment (whistles, balls, cones, first aid kit, clipboard, etc.)
Uniforms or gear not suitable for everyday wear, such as helmets, masks, skates, and chest protectors
CPR certification and first aid training
Coach’s clinics, workshops, and specialized training
Travel expenses such as airfare, auto rental, and lodging (plus meals, if you have to be away overnight)
Business portion of mobile phones, data plans, or a second phone line
Vehicle expenses or standard mileage
Advertising, including websites
Licenses, permits, fees, and membership dues

How do I report income from self-employment?

What self-employed expenses can I deduct?

Yes. All of your combined income goes on the same joint Form 1040.

If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the desktop software download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.

If you live in a state with a state income tax, you might need to make estimated payments to your state.
