It depends on how much you made on whether or not you need to report it.

Are you running it as a house cleaning business ?  Are you driving to your client's houses to clean, buying your own cleaning supplies and such ?  Very likely, IRS is seeing you as a self employed person filing schedule C

-If you receive a 1099 MISC with expenses less than $100, you may use Turbo Tax online Deluxe or Premier (Have to receive a 1099 MISC to use this lower-cost version) - in the program, go to Federal Taxes / Wages & Income / 1099 Misc and Other Common Income - Income from Form 1099-MISC

-If you have no 1099 MISC or have expenses more than $100- You may use the Turbo Tax desktop Deluxe which supports a full schedule C with brief interview questions about your business or Turbo Tax desktop Home & Business version which is designed for small business and self employed with extra coaching to maximize your  deductions. ( You will be guided through a thorough step-by-step interview questions about your business to ensure you are given all the tax breaks)

Select Federal Taxes / Wages & Income- I'll choose what I work on / Business items - Business Income and Expenses ( Sch C)- Start /
