<human>: Hey PF!

I want to start off by saying that I've been lurking on here for the better part of 6 months and I've drastically reduced my spending compared to before. I now put everything into my bank account and force myself to wait multiple weeks to buy a purchase, which usually discourages me from buying silly things and feeling buyer's remorse early on. Anyways, I need your advice now!

Starting tomorrow, I will be mowing my neighbor's lawn across the street each weekend this summer until I leave for college, which gives me around 16 weeks of mowing. Each week, I will be paid $30 for the mowing, so I'm estimating a total of $480 in cash over the summer. In addition to this, I've made around $5,000+ extra over the Internet from September to now, all through PayPal which has gone straight to my bank account. I will also be getting a summer job at minimum wage, which should bring me over the $5,950 amount needed to file taxes. So, when I file for taxes come next year, do I need to include the $480 in mowing money?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Does ~$480 in cash from my neighbor for mowing her lawn over the summer need to included when I eventually file for taxes? Or is it frowned upon if I just pocket all of it since it's cash?
