I did a side job babysitting and made more than the $5000 limit. I did not have any expenses and I have no idea how to fill this out. How do I resolve this?

Your babysitting income is considered self-employment income and will be reported on a Schedule C.  You will have to pay self-employment taxes on your net income. You are allowed to deduct any expenses that you may have incurred in your babysitting gig. 

 

Refer to the TurboTax article How do I report income from self-employment? for instructions on how to enter your income.

 

For additional information, please review the TurboTax Help article Reporting Self-Employment Business Income and Deductions .
