Hi all, hope everyone is well. I received a letter stating there will be a new way of collecting employment data from IU recipients instead of having us fill out the annual form. Not sure I quite understand how it all works, but, it got me thinking.
I have been receiving IU for almost 10 years with no otherwise income. I recently did some paid freelance music-related tasks last year and I’m unsure of how to report it, and also, could it affect my IU status. It amounts to less than $1,500, and won’t be a sustained arrangement.
I went on the IRS website and went through their “do I have to file taxes” survey. I documented this income on the survey and the results told me I didn’t have to file a tax return.
Well, with the new VA check system, how will the be able to see the income if I don’t file? I’m not even sure they go through the IRS, the letter mentioned the SSA. I’ve always been very open and honest with the system, I just don’t quite know how to proceed. The annual form would have made it easy to report this, but now I’m not sure what to do.

Any thoughts?
