You can report cash you earned as Self-Employment income.   The IRS requires that you report all of your income, even if it's less than $600 and you didn't get a tax form for it. Follow these steps to enter your income. We’ll ask you some questions to determine if your income is from self-employment or is ordinary income.

That is self employment income.

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version.
