Self employed

Yes you need to file Schedule C since you are getting paid as a self-employed  worker. 

If your family member paid you as an employee, they would have issued you a W-2 and they would have withheld taxes, such as FICA (Social Security) tax, from your paychecks.

If you were working as a 1099 worker, you were working as a contractor, and are therefore self-employed. You will be responsible for the taxes on that income, including self-employment tax. 

 

To enter the 1099-MISC, type   Schedule C   into the search box then click the "Jump to Schedule C' link

OR

Scroll under Wages & Income to Self-Employment
