You enter your income on Schedule C for self-employment.  Since you received cash payments, you will enter the income as cash.  Schedule C also allows you to claim any expenses that you had related to your work.  

 

To report Schedule C income, you will probably be asked to upgrade to a higher version of TurboTax Online or use a CD/downloaded version of the program.

 

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” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) 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
