My husband has a full time job in which he receives a W2. He also coaches sports at a Catholic high school. He received a 1099 MISC for those services (which is WAY less than a public school would pay, but he loves the sports and the kids - whatcha gonna do? lol). Anyway...On the 1099, only the amount on the form was what he was paid...no taxes withheld, etc. I've always used TurboTax and just put the amount in as "Other Income". However, when I read the directions more fully, I realized I should have put the amount in Box 7 (nonemployee compensation) like the school did. But, if I do that, would I have to fill out Schedule C for self-employed? And if that is considered self-emplyed, does that mean I have to pay employee & employer taxes? And if THAT has to be done, would I be able to "write off" things for being self-employed? For example, he coaches football and basketball. The school is 2 1/2 miles away. Would we be able to deduct the mileage of 5 miles per day x 6 days per week x 9 months? Or the roundtripmileage for football camp (Michigan to Indiana)? The cost of camp? The conference (not paid/reimbursed by the school) in Pennsylvania, with 2 nights hotel and meals? The coaching dvds? The dvd/recorder to make copies of games for other coaches of other schools when they "exchange films"? The 500 rewrite discs to make the films? The case of lysol we purchased so the kids could disinfect their equipment daily? How about the team dinners and pizza parties? The varsity patches and trophies? I think we've actually put out more money than what he was even paid! Thanks in advance for ANY help you can provide
