Since the dance studio did not withhold tax, Social Security or Medicare, the IRS considers you to be an independent contractor--i.e. self-employed.  

 

Depending on how much you earned you may need to upgrade to Self-Employed or you might be able to use a different version of the software called Free File which can prepare the forms and schedules needed for self-employment.

 

If you qualify to use it, there is another full-featured free version of the software:

Try Free File: 

You qualify if your income was $36,000 or less, or $69,000 or less if active duty military, or if you qualify for Earned Income Credit

Note:  If you do not qualify to use Free File then you will have to upgrade to Deluxe or higher in the paid versions of the software.   

Online Deluxe $60  State software $50

 

 

Or—-Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free
