It depends on why you received this income.

 

If it is self-employment income, then you will

[1] have to pay 15.3% self-employment tax, and

[2] could qualify for the new 20% off Net Income deduction called Qualified Business Income Deduction

  • To declare this income, scroll to Self-Employment and click Show more
    • Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? Click Yes
    • There will be a series of questions setting up the self-employed reporting to answer. 
    • Answer the questions through until you can click Looks Good
    • Let's enter the income for your work

    • Tell us about the other self-employed income for your work. Provide a brief description of your work and the amount and click Continue
    • You will be asked if you have any additional income before being asked what expenses you have to offset it

If it is not self-employed income, and it is not subject to self-employment, then it can be entered as Less Common Income.
