Question

I walked dogs through rover but my 1099 is from paypal because that's how I withdrew income. Do I report that as self employment income or 1099-MISC?

You will report your income on Schedule C for self-employment.  Within the Schedule C itself you will enter the total income you received from your work as a dog walker.  You will not specifically be required to enter a Form 1099-MISC, but if you have one to show your income, then it can be entered as part of the Schedule C.  Don't forget that you can also claim any expenses related to your work on Schedule C as well.

 

Use the following steps to get started:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “schedule c” and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to schedule c
  • Click on the blue “Jump to schedule c” link
