How do I include online tutoring income on my taxes? I tutor online and received a letter that only includes the aggregate (fixed rate plus bonuses) amount I was paid.

This would be considered self-employment income and is reported on a Schedule C. TurboTax Deluxe will report a simple schedule C with income but no expenses. TurboTax Self-Employed is used if you have expenses to report. 

Type 'schedule c' in the search box of your open return, then select the 'jump to' link to begin.

You can upgrade to the package you need within your current version or select purchase links below.
