I earned $13,500 from an out of state client in 2017 but only deposited $4300 in my bank account in 2017. Do I have to pay taxes on the total $13,500 or only the $4300?

Of course you do.   Just because you didn't put it in the bank, doesn't mean you didn't earn the money.

You have to report all income on your tax return. In your case, you'll have to report all the $13,500, even if you only deposited a portion of it in your bank.
