I've a google adsense earnings of about 150$ last year from my youtube channel. This is in addition to my full time job. Now the expenses (equipment,software licensing etc) is more then income. Do I still need to report this in my tax return? If yes what are the instructions on reporting this income and deducting expenses?

Yes, you should report all your earnings, regardless of the amount. The fact that you have expenses greater than the income will generate a loss that may lower your other income. This is entered as Self-employment income on Schedule C. You will need the Turbotax SE program to be able to enter expenses.
