How do I record income earned in another country without any official documentation? I was paid directly from a private account and do not have any official paperwork.

I lived in the U.S. the entire time, but was teaching online to students internationally. I have record of all payments in my bank account, but no forms.

This income should be reported as Self-employed income.

 

You report the income you received in cash, checks or bank transfers or without a 1099-NEC as self-employed income under Other self-employed income.

  • In business income, just under Type of Income, click on Add Income for this work
  • On the next page, click on the radio button next to Other Self-employed Income
  • Click Continue to enter your income received in cash, checks or bank transfers.
