1st year having taxable income and filing my taxes, need advice!
I need some advice on how I should go about filing my taxes because I’m in a different situation than most. It’s my first year living on my own and having taxable income and all of my income has been from random under the table side jobs, and random marketplace flips in my spare time. This being my first year having actual income I wasn’t aware that I was supposed to be recording/documenting my income and expenses from everything. I do have an idea/estimate of around how much I think I made based on my savings, bills, and estimated random spending. - ($26,000-$28,000) How should I go about filing my taxes? Which forms would I need? Should I be worried of getting in trouble for not keeping track this year or will the IRS be understanding of my situation as long as I do everything the right way next year? What would you do in my situation? Any other advice is appreciated! Thank you!
