Your "boss" has until the end of January to issue a tax document to you showing the money you earned in 2025.   If you are an employee, you will get a W-2; if you are working as an independent contractor you will get a 1099NEC.   When you  receive your pay, have there been any deductions from your pay for Social Security, Medicare, federal or state taxes?   Have you asked what you will get in January from them?
