You may need to file, see #1 below.
The IRS says in Pub 17:
"Also, you must file Form 1040 or 1040-SR and Schedule SE (Form 1040), Self-Employment Tax, if:
1. Your net earnings from self-employment (excluding church employee income) were $400 or more, ..."
You don't have to have a 1099-MISC or other forms. You can enter "General Income" in the business income and expenses interview - just enter something "sales on etsy" and then go on to enter your expenses.
Basically, if your business made enough money such that you would owe self-employment taxes (Schedule SE), you have to file, but you need to step through the process first.
