Hubby & I work full-time jobs. We also do some indep. contracting work on the side; made less than $8,000 this year with the side job. Do we file Self EmployedTurboTax?

Yes, if you are using the on line version of TurboTax.

You can use any version of the CD or download software.

You decide whether one of you or both of you will report the income. Assuming you split it, each of you will include a Schedule C to report your share of the income and expenses and pay your self employment (social security & medicare) tax.

Ok.  We file jointly but it is my husband who actually did the side job.  So we would put it under his info, correct?
