If you did not receive a W-2 or a 1099, the IRS considers you to be self employed.
If you received a 1099, and your compensation is listed in box #7 of Form 1099-MISC, you are being treated by the IRS as self-employed worker, also referred to as an independent contractor.
If you earned more than $400 net income (income less expenses) working as a self-employed individual (or independent contractor), you must file a Schedule C, business income and expenses with your personal return and pay self-employment tax-same as withheld on a W-2.
If you otherwise earned enough to file a return, you must report your self-employment income, no matter how small.
