You provided services to people and received compensation.
That's called business income and is reported on Schedule C.
You don't need to do anything special (tax-wise) to
establish a business, just earn income, so you are a sole
proprietor in the eyes of the IRS. Your city or state may
have other requirements for establishing a business, but the
IRS will consider you a business and tax you accordingly.
