Do I Need to Claim Side Work Money below $600.00?

[rynods79]

I did some side work in 2016. I drew up some stable plans for a builder in South Carolina. I was paid a total of $400.00. Do I need to claim this? I heard if it's anything below $600.00, I do not...  Also, if I do have to claim it, where do I do so in the T.T. software?

How do I file this income with Turbo Tax?

Your income indicates you are using the self-employed version.  If it's anything like the desktop version, just look for the business tab and work through the interview.

Yes, you do.  If you are required to file, you are required to report all of your income.

I heard if it's anything below $600.00, I do not.

That rule is whether the vendor has to issue you a Form 1099.  Even if they don't, you still need to report the income.
