Self employed

Your post is headed "Wages"---but are you asking about self-employment income?   Are you working as an independent contractor?   TN does not have a state income tax, so you must be asking about the federal filing requirements.   If you make at least $400 as an independent contractor you are required to file a tax return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.
