    How to report nonemployee income for a non profit organization
    Hi,
    I did some freelance gig for a non-profit organization, and received
    A standard 1099-misc for the income tax report. As it was a non-profit, I
    Initially gave the client a discounted rate, assuming that there would be more
    Amount to write off in the end.

    The client says their EIN indicates non-profit, but how would IRS recognize
    That this specific work was done for a non-profit, and therefore less tax
    Will be deducted? Is there any special way to report nonemployee compensation
    For a non-profit work?

    Thanks so much in advance!:)

    The IRS could care less if the Form 1099-MISC comes from a non-profit organization, a for-profit business, or the man on the Moon. They expect the income to be reported on Schedule C. There are NO special reporting requirements.

    You CANNOT claim a deduction for the discounted rate. You already received the deduction, because the higher income is NOT taxed.

    ATE is right of course. I'm just confused as to where you even got the idea that the status of the organization would matter. Current IRS rules don't even permit you to count your time as a charitable gift. So you couldn't take the difference between what you were paid and your regular rate as a deduction.

    You did work and you were paid for that work. Therefore its income.
