Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you are required to file is you have over $400 in self-employment income.  Form 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC reports money you earned doing work for a client or for a company as a non-employee. Think of it as the self-employed equivalent of Form W-2.   You can claim business deductions to lower your income and taxes also.    Married filing jointly is usually a better option than filing separately, see links below.
