The value of the rent that you didn't have to pay is taxable income to you. It's your pay for the work you did as a handyman. You have to report it as income on your tax return.


You should consult a local tax professional to discuss what you have to do to catch up on your back taxes, and the proper way to report your work-for-rent arrangement going forward.

Unfortunately, TurboTax really can't be of any useful help here. You really need to consult with a local tax professional for your 2024 taxes, assuming you actually have income to report for 2024. This is especially true if your state taxes personal income.
