Sounds like that is self employment income?  Did they give you a 1099NEC or 1099Misc?  

 

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to Premium version. Or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs.


You can buy the Desktop CD or the Download program here,

Let's first think about whether this could be considered  self-employment (an ongoing trade or business that you do with a profit motive) or it should be considered a hobby.
