enytering wages

fluffyreigns · ‎April 07, 2025

I am not a household worker. I earned $450 from one employer and $150 from another employer, too little for a W2. Where can I enter that income in TurboTax?

If you did not have any type of other income or are not filing a joint return, then you would not need to file a return to report this as you are well under the filing threshold. If you are claiming a refund of taxes withheld, then you would need to get the employer EIN and enter this as a W-2 marking the box that says Didn't get a W-2 (manually calculate my earnings)

I have plenty of other income. I have only $450 from one employer who therefore didn't send a W2. Where do I enter that $450 in TurboTax and still file electronically?

You should get a W2 for any amount no matter how small. Sounds like they both paid you as an Independent Contractor? Then they don't have to send a 1099NEC for less than $600. But you still need to report it and pay self employment tax on it.

You can enter Schedule C for Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to Premium version. Or use any of the Desktop Download programs. You can buy the Desktop Download program here,
