No. You may want to get a DBA (Doing Business As) from your local courthouse but you do not need that either. When it comes tax time you will just need to fill out the proper forms for self employment. Even though you will not be a "registered business" you can still enjoy the tax benefits of self employment. You should be fine to do business, as yourself, without an issue. NOTE: I am not a CPA or lawyer. If you are unsure about the laws and regulations in your area you should consult a lawyer.
