You're confused only because your initial question left a lot for the reader to interpret. Here's the deal. I am assuming the following:
1) You are single
2) You are NOT claimed as a dependent on any one else's return
3) You do NOT have dependents, such as a child, that you support.
Since you also worked at Kohls, I have no doubt you had taxes withheld from that pay. So you need to file a tax return.
If your total earnings for the year from ALL sources was less than $10,200, *AND* your self-employment part of your total earnings was less than $400, you file a tax return to get all those withheld taxes refunded to you.
If your total earnings from ALL sources, was more than $10,200 dollars, including your self-employment income, you are REQUIRED by law to file a tax return, no matter what.
So the bottom line is, you're filing a tax return. Since your self-employment income was less than $400, I'll be happy to walk you through reporting your 1099-MISC income in the program, *when you get to that point* in the program, so as not to confuse you.
