I have a new client who is a W-2 Fitness coach at a local fitness center. She worked for another local fitness facility facility for about 30 hours in 2023 and earned $1,200. Her $1,200 income from the other fitness facility was reported on IRS Form 1099-NEC. Can my client claim the $1,200 as other income or does she need to file a Schedule C to report this income?
Thank you, Richard
No, she provided services in exchange for compensation, that's Sch C income.
Schedule C
Sch C is my vote too, then you should get QBI

If the work was unrelated to her W-2 income, the maybe it could be "other income". But that income is in the same "trade" as other W-2 income, so it is subject to SE tax on Schedule C.
