Re: Tax Status - Schedule C or 1040?


Krista;


I know this is a day late and a dollar short, but obviously looking at the dates, hopefully you can answer my questions, Which form did you wind up using?, and did you list as mystery shopping or another type of business? Thank you

Replying to:

We do secret shopping and would like to understand how we put this into the tax forms. In TurboTax it asks if 1099-MISC (secret shopping income) should be reported on:





Schedule C - If you earned this income as part of a self-employed business.


Schedule F - (farm income - obviously not the right category)


Form 1040 - to report this as wages.





My question is, can we put this on Schedule C or does it go right to FOrm 1040? How do you decide?





Thanks,


Larry and Krista
