If a prospective employer asks you to appear for an interview and either pays you an allowance or reimburses you for your transportation and other travel expenses, the amount you receive is generally not taxable. You include in income only the amount you receive that’s more than your actual expenses. Jury duty. Jury duty pay you receive must be included in your income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8h.
