Hmm. A quick look through the form 1040A and the instructions for form 1040A didn't reveal anything to do with commissions.
pdfs:
form 1040A: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040a.pdf
instructions for 1040A: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040a.pdf
list of all IRS forms: http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/lists/0,,id=97817,00.html
I would also suggest taking a look at prior year tax returns (2004, 2003) to see how this commission income was reported.
Sorry, I don't have any real answers for you. Call the IRS help line with a clear conscience; I won't begrudge the use of tax dollars for this!
