How do I report income I made from working for a company for 2 days (paid $170 by check) and another for 1 day ($100 cash)?

[princesspeach]

I didn't receive a w-2 or any other kind of government form for either job, and in both cases I was hired for a temporary position (I was only meant to work for the 2 and 1 days, respectively).

The best way to report these payments is in the "Other reportable income" interview. This is the very last interview in the Wages and Income section.

Enter it as "Casual Labor" in the Description box (see attached sample screen).

Navigation steps - (Federal Taxes > Wages and Income > Less Common Income > Miscellaneous Income)

You weren't self-employed or engaged in a business for profit. The temporary nature and duration of the work could not be classified as related to your "Main job).
