Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Tqgrl78   I think you have that wrong.  If the person pays you 1900 or more they should pay you as a household employee and take out ss and medicare and give you a W2.  I might have that wrong about the $1900, it might be less than $1,900.   You get SS credit for any quarter you make $750.  

 

If you don't get a W2 from the person paying you then you have to file it as self employment income with no minimum.  You will pay  SS & Medicare tax on  any self employment income of $400 or more in addition to any regular income tax on it.
