Hobby income is treated in a special (but not very tax advantageous) manner. Hobby income is not subject to self-employment tax like other income reported on schedule C. You will report the gross income on line 21 of your form 1040 return, and the expenses are reported in a lump sum amount as a miscellaneous itemized deduction. The unfortunate part is that hobby expenses are limited to the gross amount of income reported on line 21 of form 1040.
You can report hobby income and hobby expenses as follows:
Hello I have the same issue as the individual who asked the question however I do itemize and the expenses are having no effect on the income?
Thank you!
Never mind I found the answer to my own question:
Beginning in 2018, the IRS doesn't allow you to deduct hobby expenses from hobby income. you must claim all hobby income and are not permitted to reduce that income by any expenses. For tax years prior to 2018, you can deduct hobby expenses as an itemized deduction subject to 2% of your adjusted gross income.
This is a very old thread (question) so we are not sure what you are asking.
Did you get Hobby Income and are you trying to claim expenses for that hobby income?
Yes, that is correct.
Miscellaneous expenses are no longer allowed to be claimed as a deduction on Schedule A.
Still have questions?
