My client had a handfull of small acting and modeling jobs and otherwise qualfies for the QPA adjustment, but the income (often cash) was not reported to the IRS by the payer on either 1099 or w-2. The client does not meet the requirements for IC.

I'm thinking the proper procedure would be to stick that income on line 7 with the rest of the wages and do the QPA adjustment with the 2106 as normal. I'm guessing that the income should also be picked up on a 8919 for uncollected FICA, but we don't have all the information needed for the form.

Or I guess I could just stick it as "other income," but that seems less correct.
