I am curious as to how you report the 1099 special duty income for your police clients.

Do you put the income on Line 21 and the expenses on 2106 lumped in with the rest of their "on duty" expenses? How do you adjust the return to remove SE tax if you do a SCH C? Here is why I ask: HPD has a memo from the IRS that states (in summary) that police officers are not subject to SE tax, therefore because the special duty is all sanctioned by the police department then the client should not be subject to SE tax on the special duty income.
