How can I file taxes for 2020 if I have a job and get paid in cash and no taxes are withheld from my pay. I work as a mechanic aide for my dad's business, but I get paid in cash and no taxes are withheld from my pay. This is my first time filling taxes using Turbotax
You are describing a self-employed situation.
Depending on how much you make, you might try IRS FreeFile delivered by TurboTax at this webpage (it's different than the regular TurboTax start page).
If you don't qualify for the FreeFile program, then you would use TurboTax Self-employed (Online) or TurboTax Home & Business (download). These are necessary in order to get the most benefit from your self-employed business deductions.
In the business area, just list your income as "General" or "Miscellaneous" - it does not have to be reported on a tax form like a 1099-MISC for it to be reported by you.

Hi, so are you telling me that since I work in an under the table job, The IRS considers me as self-employed, right?
and I have to file and pay taxes as an self-employed person?
