I asked if YOU were an independent contractor. Or did you make such a small amount from that employer that they just did not withhold any tax?

If you were an independent contractor you were self-employed. If you earned at least $600 then they are supposed to issue a 1099NEC to you in January. Check to see if they intend to do that.
If you have self-employment income you have to pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, as well as possible ordinary income tax. You have not mentioned how much you were paid so we do not know if is a small or large amount.
