Where do I enter jury duty pay?

Although it usually doesn't amount to much, jury duty pay is considered taxable income and should be reported on your tax return.

Some courts will mail you a 1099-G or 1099-MISC to report the payment, but many courts don't mail anything at all.

Here's how to enter your jury duty pay in TurboTax:

  • Navigate to the jury duty pay section:

    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to the jury duty pay screen under Wages & Income.

    • TurboTax Desktop:

      • Go to Federal Taxes.

      • Go to Wages & Income

      • If asked How do you want to enter…?, select I’ll choose what I work on.

      • Under Less Common Income, select Start or Update next to Jury Duty.

  • Follow the onscreen instructions.

What about mileage pay?

Don't enter your mileage reimbursement if you received it separately from your jury duty service payment.

If mileage is included in your pay (in other words, you received a single payment for jury duty and mileage), enter your total on the Jury duty pay screen.
