employer corrected a miscalculation in paycheck by paying the difference in cash, but they did not include the cash amount on W2 and they said they couldn't correct it.

How can this cash amount be reported? as other income or schedule C?

I would report as "Other Income". To do so, while logged in to your return:

Click on Federal
Click on Income & Expenses
Scroll to the bottom of the "Your income and expenses" page, and click on "Less Common Income"
Click on "Show more"
At the bottom of the page, next to "Miscellaneous Income..." click on Start/Revisit
Select Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099
Answer "Yes" to "Did you receive any other wages?
Click "Continue" until you get to the page with "Any Other Earned Income" Indicate "Yes"
Indicate source of other earned income as "Employee compensation that was not reported on a W-2"
Continue and the program will guide you through entering you wages paid with cash.

@DavidD66

So the cash was not reported on any forms. not on w2 and not on 1099

Which reason code should be selected?

and is there a need to send SS-8 form for this situation?

I have other reportable miscellaneous income that is not wage income I used to be able to enter it as misc inxome

not reported elsewhere but the 2023

TurboTax does not seem to have a place for that Where do I put it ?

You can find Other Reportable Income in the Wages & Income section. You may need to click on Add More Income Types.

Scroll to the Less Common Income section.
Click Start next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, (it is the last item) then
The last option will be Other Reportable Income
