The Uber tax summary states "you did not meet the earnings thresholds to receive a 1099"  However, it also states "your net payout" equates to just over $600.  I am using premier and do not want to upgrade to business.  How is this entered or Do I not include in my taxes?

You can't neglect to report income just because you did not get a reporting form. The income must be entered on Schedule C. If you want to take expenses against the income, you need to upgrade to Self-Employed.

  7. You'll see the screen titled "Tell us the type of self-employment work you do." Enter your description, then Continue

Okay. Next, my residency is NJ but I also had a full-time job in PA.  Uber was NJ not PA.  How is this NOT shown on my PA tax return.  It shouldn't be taxable in two states, correct?
