You are acting as your friend's sub-contractor.
Your friend has to issue a form 1099-NEC and has to file that form with the IRS. He can then deduct the amount he paid you as his business expense as Payment to contractors.
As for you, you'll need to report the form 1099-NEC as Self-employed income. If you have expenses, you can deduct them against that income.
