How do I claim my yoga income and deductions.?

[willball85]

I work part time as an employee (Civil Engineer) of an engineering firm and then work as a yoga instructor which is considered a private contractor.

[TonyC11]

Do you have T-slips for any of these income amounts? In each job, were you considered an employee or self-employed?

[Stella11]

I don't have t-slips for these jobs.

[TurboTaxJeffrey]

Then you are self employed.

[Stella11]

Thanks. What industry code would I use to describe yoga instructor?

[TurboTaxJeffrey]

Try 812190.   That is "other personal services."

[TurboTaxJeffrey · Accepted solution]

A private contractor means that income is self employed income.  Click "Income" then "Self Employment" then "Business or Professional Activities."  You would select the first option, "Professional, Commission, and/or Other type of business" and then follow the prompts to enter your income and expenses.

what are the deductions I could claim from running small business from my home

[TurboTaxJeffrey]

As you continue through the Self Employment section, you will get to the Business Use of Home portion.
