    If it earns income, it usually needs to be reporte If it earns income, it usually needs to be reported.

If your side hustle brings in income, even smaller amounts, you are usually required to report it at tax time. 

Freelance work, part time services, extra projects, and one time gigs all count as taxable income, no matter how casual the work may feel.

Make sure you track what you earn and keep your receipts and records in one place. 

Clear tracking helps you stay compliant, understand your true profit, and avoid any surprises when tax season arrives.

If you are unsure what needs to be reported or want support getting everything organized, working with a tax pro can make the process much easier.
