I mean after she got caught by Hermione. While being an officially known Animagus can be a downside to her work, not working at all is surely a bigger issue. We know she was forced to be unemployed:
Unemployment did not suit Rita. The hair that had once been set in elaborate curls now hung lank and unkempt around her face. The scarlet paint on her two-inch talons was chipped and there were a couple of false jewels missing from her winged glasses.
She could go to the Ministry and say she just had become an Animagus and be totally free from Hermione's blackmail. I don't think Hermione could actually prove Rita was an Animagus for ages before that.
Why did she choose to be unemployed and under a teenager's influence rather than being a free Animagus reporter?

Because it would ruin her reputation and mark her out as a sneak? Also she'd go to jail and there's only one jail in Potter, the weird torture jail.

@Valorum Why would she go to jail?! She would be totally legal if registered. As I stated in my question, her work would become less easy, but at least she would be able to work. I don't think all the people check Animagi registry list regularly, so it actually might not even affect her that much.

The Ministry want to know about Animagii before they successfully complete the transformation.
"Your father and Sirius here were the cleverest students in the school, and lucky they were, because the Animagus transformation can go horribly wrong — one reason the Ministry keeps a close watch on those attempting to do it."
My emphasis. This suggests you can't just rock up at the Ministry and say "I'm an Animagus, please register my animal and markings". The Ministry want to know up front, much the same as you can't just send a letter to your local government institution say that you can drive. You need to register for a learner's permit and then do the tests.
There's additional information on Pottermore, that states
As you might imagine, you can’t just become an Animagus overnight. The learning process involves holding the leaf of a Mandrake in your mouth for an entire month, for example.
So, again the Ministry would expect a certain time to pass after registering your intention to try. All of which means that Rita would be in deep trouble if she tried to pretend she was learning, and Hermione outed her. Specifically being able to predict her animagus form and markings would give Rita some serious problems with pretending to be currently learning.

Yes, you are right, here is the quote you were looking for: "Your father and Sirius here were the cleverest students in the school, and lucky they were, because the Animagus transformation can go horribly wrong — one reason the Ministry keeps a close watch on those attempting to do it."

But I don't think Hermione would know if Rita registered for the Animagus procedure, and usually Rita does risk a lot for her work, can't see why she didn't even try to get rid of Hermione's influence.

Blackmail is often more about the threat of exposure than the reality. Consider that after sufficient time has passed, it is possible that Hermione would be legally complicit in concealing an unregistered animagus. The main think that holds people to their blackmailer is fear, which doesn't have to be based in logical consequences.

Also, Rita isn't the kind who'd want her name in a ministry register. Better off with Hermione.
