If that was your only income and you were a Form W-2 employee, then no, you would not be required to file.

If you have other income or are filing a return (regardless of your income level), then yes, you must claim all income.

If the income was from self-employment or as an independent contractor (received cash, no taxes withheld, sometimes reported on Form 1099-MISC, but not required if under $600), then you need to file if your net income from the work is $400 or more (even if it's your only income) as self-employment taxes of 15.3% would be assessed.

How would one file this ?

I made $240 doing dinner theatre, and I was told that if I made under $600, I would not receive a 1099-MISC. I'm getting conflicting responses. One says I don't have to report, another says I do.  If I don't get a 1099, where and how do I file?

Is that your only income?  If you have other income you do have to file a return and report all your income no matter how small.  If that is your only income  you don't have to file except to get back any withholding taken out in box 2.
