You are considered self-employed and will complete Schedule C, which is how you report your self-employment income. The good news is that you can deduct ordinary expenses that you incurred by making this income. Follow the steps below to enter your income.

Open TurboTax
Select Wages & Income
Select Self-Employment
TurboTax will guide you through interview screens to help you enter your income and expenses.

For more information, refer to the TurboTax article What Is a Schedule C IRS form?

For additional information, review the TurboTax help articles: What self-employed expenses can I deduct? and How do I report income from self-employment?

You will ‌also be subject to self-employment taxes. Self-employment taxes and deduction are calculated on Schedule SE. For additional information, please see the TurboTax article Self-Employed Federal Income Taxes.

That is self employment income.

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium version. Or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs. You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099K. Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash. Only the total goes to schedule C.
