Here's some more info on self employment.  You will owe self employment tax on it.  

 

Self Employment tax (Scheduled SE) is automatically generated if a person has $400 or more of net profit from self-employment. You pay 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit greater than $400. The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare. So you get social security credit for it when you retire.  The SE tax is already included in your tax due or reduced your refund. The SE tax is in addition to your regular income tax on the net profit.
