Non-Annual Seasonal Employment

I have a primary, full time job as an employee with a regular place of employment. I also have a second, seasonal job as a self-employed independent contractor.

My second job is as an amateur sports official. This job is not only seasonal in that it occurs only a few months out of the year, but it is also intermittent and non-annual. There are some years in which my services are not needed at all, and thus I have no self-employment income or expenses. I would like to know if there are any issues or special circumstances that would arise from this type of employment.

Here are a few questions relating to this second, seasonal job:

#1 -- Do I need to file anything with the IRS relating to my second job for years in which I have no income or expenses?

#2 --In the years when my officiating services are needed and I have received income, I have always turned a net profit. In the years when I have not worked as an official, my net profit is zero. I don't have any kind of business-related expenses that would occur in years in which I don't receive any income. Am I in danger of having my job as an official classified as a "hobby" by the IRS due to the intermittent nature of the work and the years where I have a zero net profit?
