If the Income is reported in Box #7, you have to report this as self-employment income.  And because it is self-employment income, you will have to pay your share of the self-employment taxes such as Social Security and Medicare.  

You can deduct certain expenses to reduce the income you have to pay taxes on. 

Please see the below answer link from one of my colleagues who is a retired firefighter that may be helpful.
