If i babysit kids how do file as self employed or 1099 misc

[HelenaC]

You would file self-employed. The 1099-MISC Miscellaneous form is a form that someone else would give you that shows how much money they paid you. Self-employed babysitters normally do not get 1099-MISC forms from parents they babysit for.
