If he pays you $600 or more for the year he is suppose to give you a 1099Misc for it. But I bet he doesn't. You still have to report it. Do you live with anyone like a parent or friend? Are you married? Someone else might be able to claim you as a dependent. But you have to file your own return for your income. If someone else claims you, be sure on your return to check the box that says you can be claimed on someone else's return.
