If that was your only income and you were a Form W-2 employee, then no, you would not be required to file.
If you have other income or are filing a return (regardless of your income level), then yes, you must claim all income.
If the income was from self-employment or as an independent contractor (received cash, no taxes withheld, sometimes reported on Form 1099-MISC, but not required if under $600), then you need to file if your net income from the work is $400 or more (even if it's your only income) as self-employment taxes of 15.3% would be assessed.
I made $240, but I'm not going to get a 1099 at all from this. How and where would I report it?
If you have no expenses to enter against that income ...
You can report it as other income on Sch 1 line 8. Here's how to enter it in TurboTax.
The income will be reported on Sch 1 line 8 with the description that you entered.
I made $240 doing dinner theatre, and I was told that if I made under $600, I would not receive a 1099-MISC. I'm getting conflicting responses. One says I don't have to report, another says I do. If I don't get a 1099, where and how do I file?
Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I've been freaking out because I don't want to get audited for $240.
Thanks again!
I had a w-2 a as 680 do I need to I need to claim it
Is that your only income? If you have other income you do have to file a return and report all your income no matter how small. If that is your only income you don't have to file except to get back any withholding taken out in box 2.
See the answer from CRITTER above.... This answer is the right and easiest way to enter income that was not reported on a 1099 because it was below the $600 threshold. Thank you, Critter!
