Do you have to file a 1099 self employment form if I only have made $200 this year in total and have no w-2 job or any other income?

No....unless you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance.

Who has to file?

Do I need to report the income and if yes how do I do it?

Did you read the reply above?   Do you have a 1095A?   If not, you do not have to file a tax return.  

[aydenrigsby25]

Yes, but everywhere I look it says I don’t need to file but I need to report it. So idk how true that is.

Did you get a 1099-NEC or 1099-Misc for $200?  The person who paid you doesn't have to send you a 1099 for less than $600.    You don't actually "file" a 1099.  You file a 1040 tax return.  You only pay tax on self employment income if you have a Net Profit on 1040 Schedule C for $400 or more.  

Are you asking about filing a 2025 tax return for this year that hasn't ended yet OR for 2024?    

[aydenrigsby25]

I don’t have any papers yet. And I’m asking for 2025. Do I have to file anything not just what I said. I’ve never had a job before so idk

Are you being claimed as a dependent by someone else?  You have not mentioned your age.   You did not really answer the question about having a 1095A.    If someone else claims you as a dependent and they are the one paying for the health insurance, you do not have to file a tax return or do anything about the 1095A.

I’m 18 and I have caresource through the government as my health insurance. I’m not being claimed as a dependent i believe 

[aydenrigsby25]

Also I do not have any tax forms like you are saying

You do not have to file a tax return.  At the age of 18, it is highly likely that you will be claimed as a dependent by someone else--like a parent--on their tax return.  You have not supported yourself on the $200 you received.  Someone else is paying for you to have food, shelter and clothing, etc.
