Earning income driving for Uber is self employment income.

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 of 15.3%.

If you otherwise earned enough to file a return, you must report your self-employment income, no matter how small.
