You will file a 2021 tax return in early 2022 for the income you received in 2021. Your employer should provide you with a W-2 that shows how much you were paid in 2021 if you are a "household employee."
You will not owe tax if you earn less than the standard deduction (if you are single that is $12,550) but if tax is withheld you will want to file a tax return to seek a refund, or possibly to seek the 3rd stimulus check if you have not yet received it and are eligible for it.
