Yes. You are required to report all income received during the year. This would likely be self-employment income, which is reported on a Schedule C.

 

For tax purposes, self-employment income includes any part-time business or "side work" performed in which you are in business for yourself, rather than another person. You are also considered self-employed and need to file a Schedule C if you engage in business-like activities where you intend to make a profit. 

 

Please follow these steps in TurboTax to start your Schedule C:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Search schedule c with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.

  4. Answer Yes to the page titled, Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
