I had a very small home bakery for 9 months in 2017 (now closed down). It was just me and i got paid in cash. I paid sales tax quarterly but where do i declare my income?

Assuming you did not open a corporation, on Schedule C Profit or Loss from Business. Record your earnings and expenses to determine your profit. 

Here's how:

• Click on Federal Taxes on the top row of TurboTax Self Employed Online.
• Click Wages & Income
• Under All Income, click Show all income
• Scroll to Self-Employment, click Start
• Click Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
• Enter any income from sales or services that weren't reported on Forms 1099-MISC

I don't have a 1099-misc. Is this something i should receive from the government? It was just me selling cakes for cash. Do i need to create my own 1099-misc?

[Coleen3]

No. Not everyone receives a 1099-MIsc. You would not issue one to yourself.
