I trim pot as a side job and it sometimes is and sometimes is not for legit growers. Lately I have been working mostly for a grower who does everything under the table. He pays me in cash. I do not declare it for taxes. Making money tax free is cool but a person can become trapped in this cash only off the grid lifestyle and it is hard to prove income, get loans, get an apartment, and so on.

Is it possible to claim income for working for people who operate under the table? I can't name my employer on tax documents. Can I still have a business where I say I made X amount trimming?
