I am a full-time freshman college student, 1st time filing tax return.
I got a 1099-misc with $1930 in box 3, for a 2015 summer job.
Where should I put this number in my fed tax return? The 1099-misc instructions says “Box 3. Generally, report this amount on the “Other income” line of Form 1040 (or Form 1040NR) and identify the payment. The amount shown may be payments received as the beneficiary of a deceased employee, prizes, awards, taxable damages, Indian gaming profits, or other taxable income. See Pub. 525. If it is trade or business income, report this amount on Schedule C or F (Form 1040”
It commuted to this temporary computer programming job. Is this considered “trade or business income” and I file Schedule C?
Thanks.
