This income will be reported on Schedule C which is part of your overall tax return. This also means you will be subject to SE Tax.

Do you mean that you already e-filed a 2024 tax return with your W-2 income but did not include the Uber income? If that is what you did, you are going to have to amend your return to include the self-employment income. That will require you to upgrade to Premium software, so expect to pay the difference between the software fee you paid originally and the fee for Premium.
Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)
