You should not expect any forms and file from your own records. Because you worked in the parent's home (not your home) and the amount was less than $2000, you will not have to pay social security tax, but can count it as earned income.

In TurboTax, enter at:

 Federal Taxes

Click on Wages and Income

Scroll down to Less Common Income

On Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C click the start button

On the next screen click the start button on Other Income not already reported on Form W-2 or Form 1099

Answer Yes on the next screen and enter the amount under Household Employee Wages

TurboTax will put the income on line 7 of form 1040 or 1040A with the notation "HSH".
