Do I have to report every single payment for self employment separately? Or can I report them all together?

My husband is a contractor. Can I report his income in one amount? Or do I have list every single payment separately?

Report each 1099misc separately but lump any check/cash payment together.

Hi there, 

Here's some info on how to report your husband's self-employed income. 

You received a 1099-MISC for your self-employed income.

Type “1099-misc” in the Search box and then select the “Jump to” link. This will take you directly to the section where you can enter your 1099-MISC. You’ll also be able to enter any cash, personal checks or credit card payments (Form 1099-K) related to your self-employment.

Your self-employment income was only from cash or personal checks or credit card payments.

Type “Schedule C” in the Search box and then select the “Jump to” link. This will take you to where you can enter any cash, personal checks or credit card payments (Form 1099-K) related to your self-employment. You may be asked some general questions about your business. After you answer them, you’ll be taken to the Your Business screen where you can enter this income as Additional Income under Business Income.
