If she made any money she had to file taxes.

I used to know self employed guys in the construction business who worked by referral only, with no licenses or legal setup of any kind.

Most got paid by check, which they cashed in person at their cutomers' banks. They were careful to only deposit small amounts of cash in their personal bank accounts to stay below the IRS radar.
