Please help . Unsure how this would look on a tax return I am pretty sure it goes on 1040 . Royalty payments add up to 26,620. So far I have Buisness income 13,608, Joyce would report 26,620 , 4000 is taxable and the royalties wont go on Schedule E. Will upvote million thanks!

As a freelance writer, Joyce incurs costs associated with preparing a manuscript for which she does not yet have a contract.

Under the contract, Joyce is scheduled to begin work on the book on February 1, 2021, and must have it completed by November 30, 2021. The Schnappaufs' home has two telephones.
