I received $225 for participating in a "Focus Group"   I understand I may not receive a 1099 because it is under $600.  What form or schedule do I use to report the $225 monies I received.  Thanks.

This will be reported as Other Income on line 8 of Schedule 1 which will then show on line 7a of your 1040.  

 

To report this click the following

  •    Federal

  • Scroll down click Show More next to Less Common Income
