Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Possibly, As awesome Tax Expert @AamilD said you don't have to file a federal return. The IRS has a standard deduction of $12,550 for single taxpayers for 2021 and you owe no self-employment tax because your gig income was below $400.

 

Some state tax limits are lower and many states require a federal federal if you want to e-file, so you may have to file state even if you don't have to file federal.

 

If you had withholding from working other jobs, you can file to get a federal and/or state return to get refund.
