You can file this as Other Income in line 21 of your Tax Return. This area is designated for the Income and Expenses generated by Hobbies or other activities that are not intended to create a profit. The trick to this is that you cannot take a loss from this income. If you declare $1000.00 in income you can only expense $1000.00.

Yes, you may enter the secondary tab for your edition of TurboTax as Wages and Income. The rest of the path towards entering your Other Income is the same.
