I worked as a personel care aide and was paid by check weekly. Where do I put that income

When you earn money from jobs that do not give you a W-2, the IRS considers you self-employed—even though you probably don't think of yourself that way. You will have to upgrade to TurboTax Self-employed.

If your self-employment income was from cash or personal checks or credit card payments.

• Type sch c in the Search box and
• Then click on Jump to sch c. 
• This will take you to where you can enter any cash, personal checks or credit card payments (Form 1099-K) related to your self-employment.
• You may be asked some general questions about your business.
•  After you answer them, you’ll be taken to the Your Business screen where you can enter this income as Additional Income under Business Income.

You received a 1099-MISC for your self-employed income.

• Type 1099-misc in the search box and click search. 
• Click on Jump to 1099-misc. 
• This will take you directly to the section where you can enter your 1099-MISC.
• You’ll also be able to enter any cash, personal checks or credit card payments (Form 1099-K) related to your self-employment.
