You were not treated as an employee that had an employer for this job when you were issued the 1099-MISC Nonemployee compensation amount in box 7 you are being treated as a independent contractor (a self employed taxpayer).

You will need to report that income, and any related expenses, on Form 1040, Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business, or you may qualify to use Form 1040, Schedule C-EZ, TO determine your Net Profit from Business. You will also need to use Form 1040, Schedule SE, Self-Employment Tax to compute and report your social security and Medicare tax.

For instructions and forms go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for publication 334 a very good place to start with examples.
