I started as a newspaper carrier back in October I make $400 a month They don't take any taxes out. The company never sent me a 1099 form. Because I didn't make more then $5000. Do I need to fill what should I do?

If you started ack in October @ $400 per month, you made $1,200.

You can report this income on Schedule C even if you have no Form 1099-MISC from the company.

If you had ZERO expenses, you would $170 in self-employment tax, and THAT's IT!

If you need professional help doing this, email me at dpmtax.com to discuss it further.
