Title: Tax Advise
Post by: extrax on March 15, 2016, 05:40:19 PM
As a US tax payer, I would like know what is an appropriate way to file tax returns from using PTC sites? From what I've gathered, income earnings from PTC sites are considered as "Non-employee Compensation and Rewards." From anyone's experiences, what would be the best course of action?

Any US member, please help.

I am not in/from US but let me ask you:
Why, if it results in few, very few dollars?

Your best bet is to save 20% of every payment you receive. Ultimately what they will factor is every single dollar you earn. If you made enough on the side you WILL have to pay a fee. On the state side of things it varys from state to state.
