Truthfully, that's a pretty general question. There is never a wrong amount to say that you made in a side business, whatever you made, you should say that you made. There isn't, I don't think any penalization for making over a certain amount or not, whatever you made, you should say that you made. I think the difference comes in when you are under-reporting, if you have 1099s or any kind of evidence that you made money that someone else gave you money, you should be reporting it. The odds are the IRS already knows anyway. So, you just would be reporting it as a sole proprietor. Remember, if you're operating as a side hustle, you're actually a sole proprietorship.
