How do I claim a very small commission for additional income so that I do not get fined later?

You can report your commission on line 21 of the Form 1040 Schedule 1.

Do this while in your return:

1. Select Federal in the menu to the left
2. Select the Wages & Income tab
3. Scroll to Less Common Income under the All income heading
4. Scroll and click Start, next to Other Miscellaneous Income, Form 1099-A,1099-C
5. Scroll to Other Reportable Income, and click Start
6. Enter a description for your commission then enter the taxable dollar amount
7. Click the Done button if you have no other miscellaneous income to enter.
