    Hi setanta_1!

    If you did not receive a W-2 for this income as a household employee, would report this on your Schedule C as business income, even if this wasn't technically your "business." Our software will generate the necessary forms for you and calculate any self-employment tax you may owe. In our software, you can report this at "Income" < "Business Income (Schedule C)."
