Taxes, wwyd?

I worked for someone for 11 weeks during the summer/fall. They got busted growing a lotta cash crop, having tons of illegal prescription pills, etc.. I left so I wouldn't be slammed with anything because i was legit NOT a part of it. I didnt want to lose my college education and future over something I didn't do.. I made roughly $970-1000 during that time. They paid me under the table. I want to do the right thing and file taxes with that included. They never have me any paperwork, contract or tax forms. I nagged for 2 months and just let it go. Right after they got busted, they THEN wanted my social and info for it supposedly. They are shady as smurf. What you guys do in this situation?

You can file it as a gift.

Nothing. If there isn't any paperwork I wouldnt file with that money. 1000$ isn't hardly anything.

If it was under the table, then you never paid taxes and it's like that job didn't exist

I wouldn't list it AT ALL

  they'll just dig into it further. I'd leave it alone

I'm just scared that the other people will file it and that I will get audited or worse :-/

They can't file without your SSN.

Right? Id be worried about getting in trouble for working under the table.

Also, if you get any assistance/medicaid ect that may count as fraud. Id leave the 11 weeks of working out of taxes.

if you were under the table, then there is no record that you ever worked there. If you didn't file the paperwork and submit your SSN and other papers, then it's like it didn't happen

I thought if you've made so little you don't even have to file..do you have kids? if so then they prob owe you money anyways...I'd leave it alone

i wouldnt file it ...... they probably dont even have proof of paying you either so it would be pointless... just my opinion, more hassle than anything.

I have 2 boys.
I've always gotten ALOT back on my taxes. My first year filing I got $4,000 with just one LO. It was slightly less or the same the following 2 years, then it was $8,000 last year

They paid me with personal checks and they do have proof. Carbon copies of the checks

Definitely wouldn't give them my social! And that's not enough money to worry about claiming.
