Casual income, such as earnings from occasional babysitting or odd jobs, should be reported on your tax return. Here's how to do it in Wealthsimple Tax:

Reporting occasional earnings:

1. Add the Tips, Royalties, Occasional Earnings, etc. section to your profile
2. Report your casual income in the Occasional earnings row

Important considerations:

1. Business income: If you earn a substantial amount from regular activities, you may be operating a business. In this case:
   • Add the Business, Professional, and Commission Income section to your profile
   • Report your income and expenses on the T2125 form
2. Employment income: If your work is more like employment (regular hours, under supervision), the payer should:
   • Deduct and remit payroll taxes
   • Provide you with a T4 slip

Remember:

• All income, even from casual work, must be reported on your tax return
• Keep records of your earnings and related expenses
• The CRA may ask for documentation to support your reported income

If you're unsure whether your income qualifies as casual earnings, business income, or employment income, consider consulting with a tax expert for guidance.
