I was live-in help, and couldnt find how to put that on taxes, now it has me mailing them in. Is this correct?

I moved to FL for the year to help my old neighbor with damage from Hurricane Irma. He hired me as live-in help to help with reconstruction on his property as well as maintaining the house; when I do my taxes, it asks if I ever hired live help, but not if I have been live-in help, and since I was working for him, he paid me $10 an hour and no W-2.

After I've completed my taxes, it said I have $0 income, so I have to mail it in. I wasnt sure if I've messed up, and been trying to make sure I've done my taxes correctly, so I filed for an extension just in case. 

Should I just print it put and mail them, or is there something I'm missing.

When you try and print them, does it have a state income tax form specific to Florida?

Florida doesn't have state income tax, so there won't be anything to file for the state. Assuming it is your federal return showing $0, make sure you have entered the total you made as self-employment income in your return. You can take any expenses you have (such as supplies) against this income.
