Reporting under-the-table income?

Hmmm…I just read this and it’s got me wondering.

For the FAFSA and the CSS Profile, I put $0 for my income. However, I did have a summer job at Deutsche Bank and it was on the books. I figured that <2k would not make that big of a difference, so I didn’t report it. However, for the non-filer’s statement (IDOC’s)…would I HAVE to report it? Or would it look fishy? However, I did include this job in my common app under jobs and stuff.

The only thing is…for Smith’s application, I included it in their non-filer’s.

Woe is meeeee!

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

EDIT: Also, for Smith’s FinAid application, it asks how much you, the student, has left from summer earnings, and I put $0 there. (Yup, I spend it all. Haha.) So, I figure, it can’t be that big of a deal.
