I forgot to add the amount of money (less than $1500)  my wife made from her hobby as watercolorist.  I need to do that on schedule 1 form 1040, but when I click on forms "schedule 1" I am unable to add anything

    To report your wife's hobby income in TurboTax follow these steps.

     

    • With TurboTax open select Wages & Income
    • Scroll down to Less Common Income and select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
    • On the next page, select Other reportable income
    • On the page, Other Taxable Income enter Hobby Income in the description. 

     This will put the income on Schedule 1 Line 8 of your  Form 1040, as required by the IRS.  You will pay state and federal income tax on the amount, but it will not be subject to self-employment tax.
