Last year I didn't work I recieved my income doing clinical research studies.I did recieve a w2 form from a where I only made 3o usd. I made approximately 22000 usd from the researches and recieve a 1099miss form. I had a dependent and I was head of house hold. When preparing for my taxes I was shocked to see that because my income was mainly from so called miss income my refund was 12usd. But if i filed it under self employment income it was 2900. Is there any way I can use my income to help increase my refund
