So on the side (non-related industry), I coach high school rowing. I coach seasonally and am trying to figure out if there’s anyway I can classify this as “other income” instead of “self-employed income” (I receive 1099-MISC as a contractor).
Unfortunately I have no deductions related to this job other than gas mileage which is minimal so I’m looking to take a pretty big tax hit either way. I’ve done this 3 years now and this will most likely be my last year. Any insight would be appreciated.
