This app you go to stores and do tasks and get paid with e-gift cards. How do I file this on my tax return?

Not A Product Question

Gift cards you receive from Mobee is taxable as other income. If the value of your rewards was $600 or more, you should have received a Form 1099-MISC. If you did not receive a Form 1099-MISC then report as Other Income in TurboTax as follows:

Type "Other Income" in Search and hit Enter
Click on "Jump to other income"
Answer "No" to "Did you get a 1099-MISC"
Continue through the interview till you get to "Less Common Income" and click on it.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Start" next to "Miscellaneous Income, ..."
Click on Start next to "Other reportable income"
Answer Yes to "Any Other Taxable Income?"
Give a description (Shopping Rewards) and enter the amount
The amount will be reported as "Other Income" on Schedule 1 of Form 1040

If you are actually doing tasks to get paid through the Mobee app, then this would count as income for the EITC.

To qualify for the EITC, you must:

Have worked and earned income under $63,398 ($17,640 if you are single with no dependents)
Have investment income below $11,000 in the tax year 2023
Have a valid Social Security number by the due date of your 2023 return (including extensions)
Be a U.S. citizen or a resident alien all year
Not file Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income
Meet certain rules if you are separated from your spouse and not filing a joint tax return
