Laws and the program change so let me give the correct steps for TY25. You will need to report this on Sch C to get the income to act as income for a contractor. You will be able to enter any expenses as well.
If you are a US citizen or resident alien you need to pay the Medicare and Social Security tax as well. The Sch C will trigger the tax.
This will allow you to claim all the credits and move forward.
