Ok, I know RF is royalty free, but what's RM stand for?

I'm in the U.S. I'm just trying to figure out how any income I make from 
this will effect how I file my taxes. I guess what I really want to know is, 
if I have income from photography, can I still file short form? I realize 
you're probably not an accountant, but thought you may be able to provide 
some advice or point me in the right direction to figure this out.

Thanks again,
Darin
