If you had other income or had tax withheld, you may be required to file a tax return, but if it is your only income, you would be under the filing threshold so you would not have to file.  If you need to file, you can follow the TurboTax interview and enter the information to prepare and file your tax return.  See Do Babysitters Have To Report Their Income on Taxes?
