For self employed artist in 2016 How much could be earned ..Not to file a return?

Only $400 or less.  If that is your only income for the whole year.   Even if you don't have other income you pay  Self Employment tax on a Net Profit of $400 or more.

Thank You! ..So anything earned above $400 would need to be reported on forms. Also would you know what forms in 2016 were needed to file for a self employed artist?
