Question

In the "other self-employed income section, do i enter the total of all checks or list the payments individually?

These are small jobs we received checks for but dont require a 1099

It's your choice. You can enter them either way. The total amount appears on your Schedule C (Form 1040).

Self-employment income is:

Money you earn as a contractor, consultant, freelancer, or other independent worker.
It's reported on 1099-NEC (Box 1), 1099-K (Box 1a), or as cash, check or credit card sales transactions.
Requires you to complete Schedule C.
You can deduct expense related to the income.
Requires you to pay self-employment tax.
