Haha, don't worry about it. As the resident tax guy, legally you have to report all income no matter what ASSUMING you have a filing requirement in the first place. If you have no intention to do this as a profit making business just throw a couple hun as Other Income, forget a Sch C.

Depending on your total taxable earnings there may not be any tax on it anyway but you at least reported it. If you don't have a filing requirement then a few hundred won't make any difference to that calculation and even if it does, nobody's coming after you for $10-20 in tax. Add a zero to that number, it could be a different story.

Having said that, I know nothing about your situation. For all I know you have a 200K AGI from pensions, investments, rental properties or whatever. In that case yes, definitely include it as Other Income. If you already have a Sch C for something else I would just add it to that Sch C's income. It's not technically correct but you did your duty and included the income. I wouldn't create a new Sch C over two hundred bucks and trust me the IRS doesn't care either.
