    It depends.  If the income is small enough and you are doing this for enjoyment, I would suggest entering this as hobby income.  If you are doing this as a business with a serious intent to earn money, then you would need to enter this as a business. 

     

    To enter as a hobby:

     

    1. Log into your account
    2. Select Wages and income
    3. Less Common income
    4. Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099>start
    5. Hobby income and Expenses

    As a business:

     

    1. Log into your account
    2. Select Wages and income
    3. Go to self-employment If using the Desktop version, go to Business items.
    4. Self-employment income and expenses. Business Income and Expenses if using Turbo Tax Desktop.
