Other Earned Income?

[rdawfu75]

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.
