If you work for your neighbor, he is either your employer, and reports your income with a W-2, or you're contract labor and he reports your income on a 1099-MISC.
If you're contract labor (1099-MISC), you are self-employed.
If you have no expenses, you may use TurboTax Deluxe.
If you need to claim expenses, you need Home and Business.
W-2 employees have their FICA taxes (Social Security) paid through their employer. Self-Employed individuals pay their own through filing a federal return.
