No tax on tips

marquessa · ‎April 06, 2026

I have a 1099NEC for a delivery job. It reports all income including tips. Where do I separate out the tips?

When you enter your income in the self-employed section of your return, there is a check box on the bottom of the form when you make the entry. When you check that, you will be allowed to make an entry on how much of the income is tips.

I can not access this thru the guide me unless I enter the amount of money made then I can check how much tips but this then puts the amount 1x as 1099 and another time in this business self employment area. It literally says not to enter it there. There is nowhere under the 1099 to do this and in this area it adds the income 2x. This is why I am stuck

When you are entering your income for self employment, TurboTax will ask if any of that income will includes tips. The tips must be included in a Form 1099-k, 1099-MISC, or 1099-NEC. You have to keep logs that show the date, the customer, and tip received.
