Where do I report cash/check income on schedule C. I also have 1099-MISC income.

I have a total of $9334 to report on Schedule C, $5717 reported on 1099-MISC forms and $3617 cash. Where do I report the cash?

To report your cash income on Schedule C:

  • Go to Federal > Income & Expenses
  • Scroll down to See all income. In the Self-employment section, click Start next to Income & Expenses
  • Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
  • Continue through the interview to enter your business information.
  • When you get to the Let's Review Your Work Info screen, make sure everything is correct and then click Looks Good
  • On the Let's get income for work screen, select Additional Income (this covers income not reported on a tax form). Click Continue.
  • Then enter your gross earnings and the amount on the next page.

Actually you have to go the the Schedule C form (View > Forms ) then look for Schedule C and open it.

Report on "line 1a"  "non-1099" income such as cash or checks received without a 1099.
