How do I add income I received from my Mother? For taking care of her, house and yard. $6,000 total

It depends. If she gave it to you for being a good kid, it is a gift and not taxable. If it was because of actually working for her, then it would be income. 

  • If it is like a business, where you will keep doing this and want to pay Medicare and Social Security tax, then enter it as self-employment income on Sch C. You can take deductions for supplies and things.
  • If this  is just a one time thing where you just need to report the income, enter it under other income.


1. go to the federal income section
2. scroll to the bottom
3. Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, Start
4. Scroll to the bottom
5. Other reportable income, Start
6. Other taxable income?
7. Select YES
8. Description 
9. Amount, enter your amount
10. Continue
