Why on earth would you think this is not a business? If she
rents the space (chair), and charges for her work, it's a
business and she is a Sole Proprietor. Schedule C. Don't
forget her expenses (shampoo and other supplies, chair
rental fee, telephone calls to confirm client appointments,
et cetera)...

It is indeed a separate business. use schedule c and
report her gross income, and by GROSS I mean TOTAL income
on line 1

then she can deduct her supplies and her booth rental that
she paid to the beauty shop owner.

IF however, the beauty shop has issued her a 1099-misc for
her net (gross minus the booth rental) then use that figure
on line 1.

Yes it is a business, use Schedule C and SE, if necessary.

Wrong, almost certainly. It IS a business.

Yes, it is reported as a business. The income she receives
is just that--income. Her chair rental can be classified as
either rent or commissions (depending on whether she pays a
flat fee for the chair rental or if she pays a commission
based on what she earns). Be sure to deduct any supplies,
products, etc. that she purchases for use. If she pays a
shampoo gal, don't forget that as well.

My wife rents a chair at a Beauty Parlor and does
hairdressing there in the evenings on weekdays and on
Saturdays.

How should I report this income? I am having a hard time
finding the appropriate category in Turbo Tax. This is not
reported as a Business, right?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
