If my wife was paid with cash once a week for four months to watch her niece, do we report that as self-employed income?

The total amount was $2,040 and was once a week from January to May.

Yes, that income would be reported on Schedule C Business Income and Expenses as self-employed income. Report the total income as 'cash' and include any applicable expenses related to the income.

As a move-in incentive, my landlord gave me a $1000 gift card, and later sent me a 1099 misc reporting the $1000 as other income (line 3). Is this correct?
