From January to March of 2020, I was self employed and earned about 1500 gross. When I subtracted my expenses, I saw that I actually had a $50 net loss. I also didnt receive 1099s from any of the people I worked with. As such, I completely skipped over my self employment info and only included 1099-G income from PUA. I figured... "what's the point?"
My self-imployment info wouldn't change how much taxes I owed or how much refund I got... both were zero dollars. It also wouldn't change my tax credits/deductions.
Because of these factors, I didn't even have to file a tax return, but I did so anyway just in case.
I recently read an article about amendments which got me questioning if I should've included my self employment info after all.
The question: should I file for an amendment? Is it even worth it at this point? I feel like I would be wasting time/money for nothing.

If you’re self-employed, the rule is simple. You must file when net earnings from self-employment are at least $400. Net earnings mean your total earnings from self-employment minus your business expenses, such as mileage. Since it was a $50 loss, you do not need to amend.
Thank you for taking the time to answer! 😀
