Election poll worker income for 2023

I have been working as an Election Poll Worker and earned $751. What do I need to report on my 1040-SR? I have been told that this income is no longer reported on om return. 2024 I will be earning more as there are two elections. I would appreciate copy of new law concerning this income. Federal and NC

This IRS document concludes with this:

 

Conclusion

 

Remember, compensation paid for election worker services is included in income, and may be subject to income tax and FICA taxes as well as reporting requirements.

 

However, election workers may be exempt from Federal Income Tax Withholding.

 

Page 47 of IRS Publication 15 includes this chart referring to election workers.
