My husband gave a standardized test and only made $250. He did not receive a 1099-MISC form. However, with the check it stated that that the above amount $125 would be reported to Internal Revenue Service on magnetic tape. So, should we report it as other income??
Yes, unless the income is considered a gift, you need to report all income that is subject to US taxation on your tax return. The $600 limit is just the IRS requirement for Form 1099-MISC to be considered necessary to file by the payer.
You will report this income as other miscellaneous income on line 21 of your 1040. This income will not be subject to self-employment taxes.
To enter your other income as other miscellaneous income:
Can I count expenses for the online teaching job in my taxes? (ex. new lamp, printer, index cards, markers, dry erase boards, etc)?
@STC76 If the income the minor received was from self-employment income, a minor needs to report NET self-employment income that is $400 or more. See more information here on whether a minor needs to file a tax return: Do I need to file my own taxes if I'm a dependent? - Community
Do i need to file if i made under $600 with a 1099-MISC?
Yes, if you are required to file a tax return, you have to report ALL income, whatever the amount, including self-employment income under $600.
Note that the $600 is a threshold below which a payer is not required to issue a form 1099-MISC, but the recipient of the income must report it (even for less than $600).

Yes, you have to report all of your income, even if you do not receive a tax reporting statement, unless your total income is below the filing threshold.

Visit the web site below, first, and see if you are required to file a return.
I made $552 for a freelance job.
I read from this thread that I need to report it on the miscellaneous income line 21 on 1040. But, do I still need to submit the 1099-MISc form separately - in addition to?
Thanks!
The income will be reported after you enter the 1099-Misc into the TurboTax software.
1099-Misc income can be directed to different places on the tax return.
The general rule is that 1099-Misc box 7 income is directed to self-employment income, probably generating a self-employment tax and a qualified business income deduction.
See this TurboTax Help.

You do not have to submit a copy to the federal government. Some states do require submission, however.
I got into Real Estate in 2019, but didn't make a sale. How do I report this in Turbo Tax?
If you were actively trying to sell real estate, you can deduct your expenses in the "Self Employment" section of TurboTax. You will find this in the "Income and Expenses" menu bar, in the federal taxes section of TurboTax.
When I report income under $600 in the less common income section, it reduces the amount of my federal refund and increases my amount due to the state. My understanding was that you don't have to pay taxes on income under $600?
You may be misinterpreting some related information.
Form 1099-MISC is required to be issued to independent contractors or the self-employed who have been paid $600 or more.
If you were paid less than $600 for your services – an amount that doesn’t trigger a 1099-MISC – you’re still responsible for reporting the income. It’s included in taxable income, whether a 1099-MISC was issued or not.

If you file a tax return, you are required to report all your income. No exceptions. (Whether you will get caught if you don't is a gamble only you can decide to take.)
In some cases, your overall income might be low enough that you aren't required to file, but that is a different discussion.
"If you were paid less than $600 for your services – an amount that doesn’t trigger a 1099-MISC – you’re still responsible for reporting the income. It’s included in taxable income, whether a 1099-MISC was issued or not."
I only made around $250 in 2019 using Doordash (no other job or income bc I was in school). I haven't been issued a 1099-MISC since I made less than $600, so how do I still report the income? I know I am still required to report all income made so how do I do this in Turbotax?
If your only income is self-employment and it is less than $400 you do not have to file a tax return.
My wife worked as an instructor on and off at a yoga studio last year. The studio is owned by someone else, and she was paid on a per-class basis. She made less than $600 so she didn't receive a W2 or a 1099. How do I report this income?
For guidance in entering your yoga instructor income, please see the TurboTax Help article "How do I report income from self-employment?".

Essentially, your wife is self-employed as an independent contractor. She needs to file a schedule C to report her business income and pay self-employment tax. That information will then flow to the main form 1040 where it is combined with all your other income and deductions. She is expected to keep accurate business records and report her income even if she does not get tax paperwork from someone else.
The link provided by the Turbotax expert is a good place to start.
One other note: If you don't have expenses to subtract against the income, you can report the self-employment income in the online Deluxe version. If she has expenses to subtract against the income, that would require an upgrade to the Self Employment version which is the most expensive version of Turbotax online. If using the desktop version installed on your own Mac or PC, any version Deluxe or higher will work (just not Basic).
