Does knitting some hats for $319 (total) count as self employment?how do i claim it?

Yes, you have to report all income, and knitting and selling your products would count as self-employed income.

However, if this income of $329 is your only income in 2022, it is below the threshold which requires you to file a tax return.

If you have other income such as wages which brings your total income above $12,950 then you have to file a tax return.

You would then report this income you received as self-employed income under Other self-employed income.

• In business income, just under Type of Income, click on Add Income for this work
• On the next page, click on the radio button next to Other Self-employed Income
• Click Continue to enter your income received in cash, checks or bank transfers.

If you have expenses such as knitting materials related to this business, you can deduct them.

To report your business income and expenses, you'll need to use TurboTax Deluxe or TurboTax Self-Employed (Online) if you have expenses to deduct or TurboTax Home and Business (CD/Download).
