You have some self-employment income, for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare. You will need to be sure to enter the estimated tax you already sent in:

Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes

SELF EMPLOYMENT INCOME/“side jobs”

If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the desktop software download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.

Yes you will need to report this additional income on your tax return. Your going to find out that sometimes it doesn't pay to be an independent contractor. Your going to need to file Schedule C on your federal return and the "profit" is subject to Social Security and Medicare tax also known as FICA. You may also be subject to additional State taxes. In TurboTax you will need the business version (TurboTax will help) and follow the instructions during the interview. You will also want to get the Form1099MISC from the person who paid you. This will show how much you were paid. This amount needs to match what you report.
