Do I have to claim the $100 per week that my wife gets for taking our neighbor to work? If so, can I deduct mileage that she drive to get this money?

[Coleen3 · Accepted solution]

Yes and yes. This is considered to be self-employment income. She would need to enter the income on Schedule C. See the steps below. She can only take miles that have a business purpose. If any personal miles are included, she would have to subtract them out.
