Depends if you get a W2 or 1099NEC. Or a combination of both. 1099NEC income is self employment income and goes on Schedule C. You need the Self Employed version to fill,out Schedule C.

If you don't receive a W-2 form reporting your income, then you would typically be considered a contractor in the eyes of the IRS. In such an instance, you are required to keep track of your income and you can deduct expenses that are ordinary and necessary to generate your income. You will typically receive a form 1099-NEC from those you work for reporting the monies paid to you if the amount is more than $600 for the year.
