Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You will need to enter it as a 1099-NEC.  For most participants in Vine, this is going to be self-employment income subject to self-employment tax because you are performing a service (writing reviews) in exchange for compensation (the items, which have been assigned values.)  

If you wish to report it instead as a hobby and feel that you're qualified to do so, you will need to enter the 1099-NEC and then on the follow-up screen select "This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from a sporadic activity or hobby."
