<prompt> Human: Basically, last summer I was in dire straights financially. I was going to be about 100 short on all of my bills one month, even with borrowing money from my mother, so I made an account on a cam site and did enough to make the 100 I needed. Technically, I did that job as an independent contractor, but I also have a regular job that pulls taxes from each check and such, I was just very low on hours at that point in time. Can I go ahead and do my taxes now with the information from my main job and exclude the 100 I made camming, or do I have to wait for some kind of tax document to come from the cam company? Edit: Sorry, I guess this is more of a tax question than a PF question, but you are all so knowledgeable about these things, and this sub is super active, so I thought Id get a quick response. Thanks!  <response>: If you file taxes, you have to include all sources of income. If you are below a total income threshold, you may not be required to file taxes. But you dont include or exclude specific sources of income, its all or nothing.
