If you were paid through Venmo and didn't receive a W-2 or 1099, you can still report this income as self-employment on your tax return. Here’s how to handle it in TurboTax:

 

Report as Self-Employment Income in TurboTax follow the steps below:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Navigate to the self-employed income section:
    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to self-employed income.
    • TurboTax Desktop: Search for self employed income (use this exact phrase, don't add a hyphen) and select the Jump to link.
  3. Answer Yes on the Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? screen.
    • If you land on the Your 2024 self-employed work summary page, select Review next to the work you're adding income for.
  4. Answer the questions on the following screens until you arrive at Let's enter the income for your work.
  5. Select the form that applies to your situation and select Continue.
  6. You can enter the info from your 1099 form on the following screens.
