You don't need to change the way you file. You're in the right place. It's possible you received a 1099-MISC.
"Non-employee
compensation" (Box 7 of a 1099-MISC) is considered income from
self-employment. You are considered to have a self-employed "business"
and you are the "owner". TurboTax will help you report it as
Business Income on a Schedule C or C-EZ.
You
may be able to deduct business expenses directly from that income.
TurboTax
will guide you through the entries of your "business".
How to get there:
1.
type Schedule C in the Search Box at the top of
the screen (you may see a magnifying glass there).
2.
Click Jump to Schedule C.
Follow through the interview in the
Business section. You'll notice blue links that have more information and
details about the particular sections that will be extremely helpful.
