We live in Massachusetts and received a 1099-K that is above the Massachusetts income limit but below the federal limit. Does anyone know the best way to file this?

Does the 1099-K represent business income, and if so, what federal limit is it below?

Yes, it's business income from Third Party Network Transactions. $20,000 federal limit.  MA changed the limit this year to $600

If you earned more than $400 net income (income less expenses) working as a self-employed individual (or independent contractor), you must file a Schedule C, business income and expenses with your personal return and pay self-employment tax-same as withheld on a W-2

If you otherwise earned enough to file a return, you must report your self-employment income, no matter how small.

You can claim this income in the below area:
