I didn't file federal taxes for 2023. My only income was from two 1099 forms for a total of $4,277.33. I currently live in Australia. Do I need to file? 1099k 1099nec

If you have a 1099NEC, yes, you need to file a tax return, because a 1099NEC is issued for self-employment income.   If you have even $400 of self-employment income you are required to file and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, although you will not owe any ordinary income tax for that amount of income.
