No, there's no
limit. You report all the income you earned as a self-employed individual.
There is a certain
amount you have to make before you are issued (or issue) a 1099-MISC form however. You
must have made at least $600 or more before any 1099-MISC form is issued to
you. This is also true if you have to issue a 1099-MISC to somebody. You won't issue a form 1099-MISC unless you've paid the individual (or business) $600 or more.
