What to do if I don't remember how much income I received for a church service

I sang at 2 paid church services at my local church. The issue is that instead of a check, I was paid in cash for both events at the same time. As a result, I have no way of looking into my bank statement to see how much I earned on those 2 events. I think it was about $400 or so but I cannot remember the exact amount due to the fact that I did not receive a check to deposit. I know this income is taxable, but I may be in trouble if I cannot remember exact amounts. What should I do if I cannot remember exact amounts?

Can you ask the church how much they paid you? The church treasurer probably has a record in their books.


If you can't find out from the church, just report your best estimate.
