Does anyone know where on a Schedule C I can show the amount of notary public fees that are not subject to SE tax?  I have both income subject to SE tax and not subject to SE tax for a small notary business.

Thanks

Maybe report the income not subject to SE tax as  Schedule 1 - Other Income

Notary income

Fees for services you provide as a notary public are not subject to self-employment tax.  However, all of your other self-employment income is subject to self-employment tax.

Example: X is a self-employed attorney and also a notary public.  Only the income that X received for services performed as a notary is not subject to self-employment tax.

Thank you.  I did find it finally and once I found it, it made sense to put the adjustment there.
