Fillable form 1040x Business. Fillable form 1040x   A business is an activity in which a profit motive is present and economic activity is involved. Fillable form 1040x Service as a newspaper carrier under age 18 or as a public official is not a business. Fillable form 1040x Common-law employee. Fillable form 1040x   A common-law employee is any individual who, under common law, would have the status of an employee. Fillable form 1040x A leased employee can also be a common-law employee. Fillable form 1040x   A common-law employee is a person who performs services for an employer who has the right to control and direct the results of the work and the way in which it is done.

Fillable form 1040x Nontaxable reimbursements or other expense allowances. Fillable form 1040x Deferred compensation (other than elective deferrals). Fillable form 1040x SIMPLE plans. Fillable form 1040x   A special definition of compensation applies for SIMPLE plans. Fillable form 1040x See chapter 3. Fillable form 1040x Contribution. Fillable form 1040x   A contribution is an amount you pay into a plan for all those participating in the plan, including self-employed individuals. Fillable form 1040x Limits apply to how much, under the contribution formula of the plan, can be contributed each year for a participant. Fillable form 1040x Deduction. Fillable form 1040x   A deduction is the plan contributions you can subtract from gross income on your federal income tax return. Fillable form 1040x Limits apply to the amount deductible. Fillable form 1040x Earned income. Fillable form 1040x   Earned income is net earnings from self-employment, discussed later, from a business in which your services materially helped to produce the income.
