Hi @MikeysGirl !

 

Discounts are not treated as income by the IRS, but gift cards are considered cash equivalents and would be taxable income.  Other income would be reported in the Wages & Income section of your TurboTax.  Go to Less Common Income and then Miscellaneous Income.

 

Hope this helps!
