You should probably contact a CPA for this as this can be quite complicated and if you deduct things your not supposed to, you can get yourself into alot of trouble.
In short, royalties would be self-employment income. That means that you will need to pay the 15% FICA/Medicare charge plus your ordinary income tax rate. (Normally when you work for someone else you pay 7.5% fica/medicare and employer pays the other half).
You will need to file Schedule SE with your 1040 to determine your total self employment income. That is, your income minus your expenses related to employment.
