How do I enter independent research work for a foreign publisher, totaling less than $2k in income?

This income is self-employed income and has to be reported as such.

 

In TurboTax, you enter it as Other Self-Employed income. If you have expenses to claim against this income, you'll need to upgrade to TurboTax Self-employed.

 

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.
