Household employee income

I have a 2nd part-time job where I earned $1200 for the year. My employer did give me a W2, but no federal tax was withheld due to being under the $2200 threshold (all other taxes were withheld). I read I have to include that $1200 on the total amount of Line 1 of Federal 1040, and put out to the side "HSH 1200". But where does it come out of my income adjustments after that so that that $1200 part of my income isn't being counted as part of my taxable income & thus reducing the amount I get back? Is there a schedule I need to fill out? None of the schedules I looked at (1 thru 3) seemed to cover this. Thanks!

No schedule.

Household Employee income under $2,200 should be reported in:

Miscellaneous Income
Other Income not reported on a W-2
Other wages (yes)
House Hold Employee.

OR Use the "Tools" menu (if online version under My Account) and then "Search Topics" for "household employee income” which will take you to the same place.
