Do I need to claim income of $750 from babysitting

[nmm]

I babysit a couple times a week and was wondering if there was a monetary threshold I needed to reach before having to claim it on my taxes.

On what part of the return

Yes. Your babysitting income is self-employment income and should be included on your tax return. The IRS requires you to file if you had at least $400 in net earnings from self-employment (income minus expenses).

Yes, the tax law says you have to claim all income from all sources. This would be considered self-employment income. When you have self-employment income, the IRS treats you as a business. You report your income on Schedule C. 

These are the tax products you could use:

• TurboTax Online TurboTax Self-Employed, and TurboTax Live Self-Employed.
• TurboTax CD\Download Deluxe, Premier, or Home & Business.
• Note: The higher the version, the more step-by-step guidance you'll receive.
