Odd jobs are not done on behalf of an employer and are not part of a self-employment business. They may be one-time services or re-occurring services. For example, babysitting every Thursday night or mowing the lawn for someone once are both considered odd jobs.

You have earnings from an odd job during the week if:

· You completed an odd job and received payment immediately

· You completed an odd job and will receive payment in the future

You did not have any earnings from an odd job during the week if:

· You completed an odd job and will not receive any payment for it

· You did not complete any odd jobs this week but received payment for an odd job you reported in a prior week.

Enter gross earnings for the week that you earned them not the week that you are paid. Example: You babysat on the 10th and earned $20.00, but you won’t get paid until the 18th. You should enter your $20.00 in earnings for the week of the 10^th not the week of the 18th.

You are considered self-employed if:

· You filled a 1099 for your taxes

· You own and run a Limited Liability Company (LLC)

· You own and run your own business, for example, hair salon, spa, cleaning service, restaurants, food trucks, online stores etc.

· Worked as a freelancer, or independent contractor, for example: driver for a rideshare company, i.e., Uber, Lyft, freelance graphic designer, etc.)

You are not considered self-employed if:

· You did not file a 1099 for your taxes

· Occasionally received payment for work or services, but this was not your main source of income

· You are considering self-employment but have not worked as a self-employed individual before
