Question

I am a self employed attorney - working part time. I receive payments from individual clients for my work, but have never recieved a 1099 from the clients.

My clients pay me with personal checks - about $700 each. How do I report this income

You can claim your self-employed income without a 1099-MISC

Log into your account and click Take Me To My Return (you must click this before searching if you are not already in your account)
Click the search box at the top right of your screen (magnifying glass icon)
Search for “Schedule C" in the search box
Click the "jump to schedule c" ink in the search results.
Follow the first set onscreen instructions - you might have to set up a Business profile if you already haven’t
You will arrive at the Your Business summary page where you will see the various income and expenses categories.

To enter business income not on a 1099-MISC, follow the above instructions, then:

Click Start/Update next to Business Income
Click State/Update next to General Income
The next page should be Tell us about additional income - you can enter income not designated on a 1099-MISC here (such as cash and checks) - you can total them as one entry or make multiple entries
