AnnieR Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Client is in the military, he got a "bonus" of $1000 because a friend of his signed up. This is shown on a 1099 from "Document and Packaging Brokers, Inc" as Non-Employment compensation (Box 7). Is there anyway to report this without having to do a C-EZ and SE? The young man is not in the recruiting business but that's the way the military treats it. AnnieR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'd put in on Line 21 and not do a Schedule SE. Include an explanatory note on the line "Military Recruitment Bonus - per IRC Sec. 183". (Thanks to Taxbilly in a previous post for that last part of the entry) He might get questioned about it and you'd maybe have to write a letter, but I have a feeling IRS is seeing lots of these. If there's a W-2 from the military they should be able to add up the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
