Start out on Schedule C (and yo may have some expenses to
write off against it) and proceed to Schedule SE and don't
forget to deduct 1/2 the SE tax on 1040 line 30.

Schedule C and that flows to form 1040 and Schedule SE for
the self employment tax.

assuming you were indeed an independent contractor and not
an employee and you are required to pay u.s. federal income
tax, it may be self employment income to be reported on
schedule c, with self employment tax due on your net profit
after related business deductions (unless the net profit is
under $400, in which case there would be no self employment
tax); and also federal income tax due on the schedule c net
profit if you're in a taxable position on it for the year

consider seeking a professional's assistance with your tax
matters if you do not fully understand what you are doing
with them

I happened to have the skills a company needed. So I worked
for the company occasionally last year. Finally, I got about
$10,000 payment and they also gave me a 1099MISC form. The
amount of money is put in BOX 7.

Should I file the income as self-employed income or other
income or miscellaneous income? How to file it?

Thanks,

George
