How do I file server tips without a w2?

[DianeW]

If there is no W2 from an employer for the same time period when you were earning tips as an employee, then it is considered self employment. All income for services performed is taxable and required to be reported on your tax return even if you don't receive a tax document.

You can report your tips by going directly to the area to enter your information using the steps below.

While you are logged into your TurboTax (online or desktop) version:

1. Use the Search box in the upper right

2. Search for business, schedule c

3. Jump to business. schedule c (see image attached)

4. Continue to Start or Edit your business

5. Follow the screens to enter your information. (see images attached)

The business name and address will be your name and address.  If you have no expenses for this income simply enter the income.
