1099-NEC and Roth

Client who is a minor made $750 at part time job last year. Received 1099-NEC. Is he eligible to make a Roth contribution?



Why was’t this reported on a W-2?  What type of service was provided?

Not sure why.  He was an umpire for little league games.

Even though a minor, he is self employed and if his net earnings from SE are over $400, he must file even though he will not owe any income tax. I doubt that he has expenses of $350 to eliminate the SE tax, but his eligible Roth contribution would be his net earnings after expenses less 1/2 his SE tax.
