chosen: If the total amount of cash paid to you by your neighbor is less than $20,000 then you do not need to report the money or pay any taxes on it.  However, if the total amount is more than $20,000 then you should report it on your taxes and pay taxes on the total amount as if it were earned income.  It is important to document the amount paid to you and the dates of payment with a cash receipt to protect yourself in the event that you are questioned by the IRS in the future.
