I gave a one-time workshop for a company for pay, but didn't receive a 1099-MISC because they are international. How do I best file the income?

Hello, 

I am full time employed, but once-in-a-while do speaking engagements outside of my main job. I know how to report honoraria, but in this case I was asked to give a workshop for which I received more money than just an honorarium (and above the $600 limit for 1099 forms). The company for which I did the workshop is is internationally-based and so did not send me a 1099 tax form, such as the 1099-MISC. How do I best report the income? As self-employment, I assume. But is there something special to do without a 1099 form? Thanks!

Yes, without a tax form, you should report this income as Other 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.

If you have expenses related to this business, you can deduct them.

 

To report your business income and expenses, you'll need to use TurboTax Self-Employed (Online) or TurboTax (CD/Download).
