It depends. If this were an employer, they could provide food and lodging with no taxable consequence to you. You would only need to report the $260 earned above the meals and lodging.

There are more scenarios but I feel you would have asked the question differently.

 

I recommend you put the $260 under:

  1. Less Common Income
  2. Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C (bottom one)
  3. Start
  4. Other Reportable Income (bottom choice)
  5. Start
  6. Any other taxable income?
  7. Select Yes
  8. Enter description and amount
  9. Continue
