Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are being claimed as a dependent on your parent's returns, you will need to file a separate return with this income.  This is considered other self employment income  over $400.  The IRS considers anything in box 7 to be self employment income.

In TurboTax, you will indicate that somebody else can claim you as a dependent, at the personal information section.

However, if you had expenses related to this income, you can deduct them to lessen the tax liability on the income.
