<prompt> Human: I currently live in Missouri, in 2016 my job was also in Missouri so I filed Fed and Missouri taxes only. That job ended 12272016 and my new job that is in Kansas started 192016. I am still living in Missouri.nbsp;My old job has not found my replacement yet, so I am freelancing and continuing to do some work to keep things up and running until they find somebody new. I am trying to figure out what the threshold is on how much I can earn from the freelancing before it turns into an issue where I will be taxed on that small chunk of income. Is this even an issue or do I just have something mixed up? The accountant at the Mo job said that under 600 should not require paying taxes but I cannot find anything on the topic and want to make sure I am not screwing myself up with the situation by not filing something correctly.nbsp;Is this a concern at all, or is the 600 point wrong or something? I searched on here, through the Khan thread on taxes, google, etc and cant find a clear answer so was hoping somebody here might know.nbsp;if any other info is needed to answer just let me know. Thanks!  <response>: If you earned it, you are supposed to claim it as income. Period
