Do I have to report income earned while working in the U.S. for a Canadian company? I did a virtual freelance project for a company based in Canada. I'm based in the U.S.

This is US sourced self-employed income.

 

You should report it as self-employed income, even if you did not get a US tax form.

 

You report the income you received in cash, checks or bank transfers or without a 1099-NEC as self-employed income under Other self-employed income.

  • In business income, just under Type of Income, click on Add Income for this work
  • On the next page, click on the radio button next to Other Self-employed Income
  • Click Continue to enter your income received in cash, checks or bank transfers.

 

If you have expenses related to this business, you can deduct them.

 

To report your business income and expenses, you'll need to use TurboTax Self-Employed (Online) or TurboTax (CD/Download).
