That is self-employment income; you are required to report all of your income on your tax return. See the link below to see how to enter self-employment income from cash or checks into TurboTax. You don't have to prove your cash receipts on a tax return. Keep records of your income and expenses in case of an inquiry.

How do I report income from self-employment?

What if I didn't get a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC, but made money from self-employment?
