    If you make enough money doing freelance work and taking tax deductions, you will need to report it. If you are not having huge trucks delivery each day or huge post office drop offs coming to your home, I am pretty sure you don’t need one.. MY TEEN is a graphic designer, she started doing freelance work at age 15. She likes it, I envy you all who are notebook savvy and creative too fantastic and best of luck to you!!
