    Nonemployee compensation
    When filing federal taxes, is schedule c the only required form to report nonemployee compensation? If there are no business expenses, will I only have to fill out my personal info and income amount>

    If that is your only source of income, then you file a Schedule C-EZ AND the income goes on your 1040EZ form. Very short and sweet form. Are you sure that there are no expenses? Did you have to drive a vehicle to get to this job or on this job. The mileage is deductible.

    Check out your facts before posting on this forum.

    You CANNOT transfer income from Schedule C-EZ to a Form 1040EZ. It must be transferred to Form 1040.

    Plus you never even addressed the requirement to transfer the net income to Schedule SE to calculate self-employement taxes.

    Further, driving TO and FROM work, even if the job is an independent contractor position, is COMMUTING expenses, which are NEVER deductible.

    Form1040EZ is use to report W-2 wages, up to $1,500 in interest income, unemployment compensation and some scholarship/grant income, and THAT's IT.

    If you answer questions as an expert on this forum, make SURE you know what you are talking about!

    Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I had said driving to and from work. Did I miss that?

    No, you said "to get to this job or on this job". That implies commuting expenses.

    Do not take criticism personally, and sarcasm serves NO ONE.

    Your succeeding posts have shown that you indeed take the "expert" role seriously.

    I have been criticized and corrected more times than I care to think about by other experts on this forum. We are all human and we all make mistakes. Just try to make sure of your facts before posting.
