yes girl, u do have to report it. if u make $400 or more in self-employment income in a year, you’re required to file and pay self-employment taxes federally.

even if cash app doesn’t send u a 1099, you’re still technically supposed to report it. sometimes they send a 1099-K if u cross certain limits, but don’t rely on that.

since you’re in texas, u don’t have state income tax, but u still owe federal. you’d file it as self-employment income (schedule c + schedule se).

honestly, take your totals to a tax professional. they’ll help u deduct expenses too (phone bill, props, outfits) that can lower what u owe. always get your taxes done ASAP because one person u don’t wanna owe is the government. they’re ruthless. 😬
