Hi everyone, this might seem like a silly question but it has been bothering me. In 2019 I was 17 years old and worked for 3 months scooping ice cream. I was paid under the table and made approximately $2000. Once the summer was up I got a new job and was on the payroll. It was my first job so when tax time came around, I didn’t think to put the $2000 on my tax return. In 2020, the ice cream shop was sold to new owners.
Fast forward to now, and I am paranoid about getting in trouble for being paid under the table. Especially since interest would have added up by now if I owed anything. I know you have 3 years to amend a tax return- should I try to amend my 2019 return? Should I just forget about it? What are the realistic odds of the IRS coming after me for this?
Once again, I apologize if this sounds like a stupid question. I’m young and my parents never really talked to me about tax stuff.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
