Yes, if you were issued a 1099-NEC.
When you work as an employee, your employer withholds and pays your FICA (Social Security) tax.
When you are paid as a contractor, you need to file as a Self-Employed Taxpayer (Schedule C) and pay that tax through your tax return.
You are also allowed to deduct any expenses you paid relating to the income.
Since it is 1099-MISC, you COULD try to report it as taxable income but not Self-Employment if you considered the tutoring a hobby but it sounds like you did it to earn money, not as a "fun" thing to do.
You will need to upgrade to report Self-Employment income in TurboTax. You might look into using IRS Free File if that works out better.
