Hello lawn:

Yeah. There's a place on your 1040 where you can put the income down. It really isn't difficult, but you may want to hire a professional to prepare your return.

I would hire a CPA. You're really not paying him to add numbers - you can do that. You're paying him to STAND BEHIND the return IF the IRS has any questions. Personally, I like layers and layers of people in between me and the IRS.

Any competent tax preparer can deal with your Form 1099. A CPA may be a bit of overkill in my opinion.
