I make less than 900.00 dollars a month if that a month on a none consecutive biases. Do I need to file tax's?

Hi @valeries5boys , so yes, this would be considered "Gig" work. Per the IRS:

You must file a tax return if you have net earnings from self-employment of $400 or more from gig work, even if it's a side job, part-time or temporary.

You must pay tax on income you earn from gig work. If you do gig work as an employee, your employer should withhold tax from your paycheck. If you do gig work as an independent contractor, you may have to pay estimated taxes. Unsure if you are an employee or independent contractor? Ask your employer or check your worker status.

I hope that helps!
