Miscellaneous Income
Lecture - Self-Employment tax
If you only gave one lecture and only plan to give occasional lectures then that income is not subject to self-employment tax. If you actively seek lecture engagements and give them with reasonable regularity then your lecture fees are treated as income subject to self-employment taxes.
