Hi, I made over $700 through three different side jobs combined. The jobs are Photography, Graphic Designer, and Consulting. What form would be the best?

Was this as an Independent Contractor? Did you receive 1099-NEC? If the jobs are vastly different from each other, you would need a Schedule C for each.

 

If so, you would enter your income on Schedule C. Enter the 1099 income separate from any non-1099 income (cash).

 

We'll automatically complete Schedule C for you when you set up your self-employment work or income in TurboTax, which is usually reported on Form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC. It gets attached to your Form 1040 which we'll also handle for you.

To set up your business:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Search for schedule c and click the Jump to link in the search results.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
    • If you've already entered self-employment work and need to enter more, select Add another line of work.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions.

No, I did not receive a 1099-NEC.

If you did not receive any 1099-NECs, then report your self-employment income on Schedule C in the Other Self-Employment Income section.  See below.
