I work from home as a nanny for my nephew. I am paid twice a month by my relative. How do I put that on my tax return?

I’ve been doing this for about 2 months so far and plan to do it until he is of age to go to daycare/school. I just want to make sure I know how to put this income in my taxes for my tax return.

As an independent contractor you would report the income on Schedule C. You will pay income tax as well as self employment tax.

You have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare,  you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the CD/download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.
