16 year old wanting to know how to file a 1099.

So I was planning on becoming a freelancing copywriter. However, I don't know how I would go about filing taxes. Here are some of the questions I hope to get responded to:

 

1.  What is the minimum income in $USD for me to file taxes (as a 16 year old)?

2. Would the taxes be under my mothers name (my guardian) or mine?

3. Do I have to file "X" amount of 1099 forms for each client/job or can I just file one 1099 in a quarter including all of my gross income?

4. Does the client I'm working for send me a form or do I manually have to get that myself?

5. Would "under the table" pay like paypal or venmo be liable on my 1099?

6.  Does me claiming myself as "self-employed" or having a "small-business" affect my mother's taxes or chances of me getting a student loan in the future for college?

7. Would I need to fill out the quarterly forms or the quarterly forms + the annual one?
