Yes, the IRS considers you self-employed and you have a "business". You may not think of yourself as running a business, but you’re considered self-employed if you engage in business-like activities.
You are also self-employed if you’re an individual who:
- is the sole proprietor of an unincorporated business
- works as an independent contractor, consultant or freelancer
- is a member of a business partnership
- owns or is part of a limited liability company (LLC)
- earns income through investments
- earns income through rental property.
