Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are a business in the IRS eyes. 

 

You do not have to carry on regular full-time business activities to be considered self-employed.  This is non-employee compensation.  You were contracted to do a job, not employed to do a job.  You will need to file a Schedule C for Business Income and Expenses and pay Self-Employment tax on this income.
