Is Plasma donation money Taxable?
Short answer: Yes: plasma center payments are taxable income, even without a 1099 for small amounts.
Taxable income that isn't wages goes on Schedule 1 (or Schedule C if it's a business); keep records even if you don't get a 1099.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
