How do you report income if your employer doesn't send a W2 for less than $600 earned?

posted

If you are an employee they have to send a W2 for any amount. Even $1. Or do you mean a 1099MISC or 1099NEC? If they paid you as an independent contractor they don't have to send a 1099 for under $600. But you still have to report the income as self employment income.

To report your self employment income you will fill out schedule C in your personal 1040 tax return and pay SE self employment Tax. You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version. Or any of the Desktop programs. But you will get the most help in the Home & Business version.
