hotwebideas Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hey Ashley, this is great information, but I have been claiming my Paypal income for about 5 years now and I also write off my business expenses on Paypal.One question: You mentioned $20,000 in gross payment or 200 payments per year, so if the seller does not reach either of those, do they still have to claim their Paypal income?Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lparziale Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Bruce, I am betting the IRS says YES. All income should be claimed, regardless of if it is reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotwebideas Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Reply to @lparziale: All income over $600 for the given income source. You don’t need to claim anything under $600.00. I made over that on Fiverr, so there ya go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lparziale Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 You DO need to report income under $600, the person who paid you does not have to issue a 1099.Here is the scenario - you do work for 1000 people in a year but they each only pay you $100. What you are saying is that the IRS will not expect you to pay tax on your $100,000 income. Um, think they want a piece of that action. Now, if you choose not to report it and no one else does, perhaps you get away with it. However, you are still expected to report and pay tax on ALL income. That is my understanding.

tn5rr2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 This was a basic fact if people were concerned about being issued a 1099 for 2012. Tax laws are complex and only your accountant or financial manager can answer your tax questions. Do not go by what anyone says on any forum about your taxes and what you should or should not do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiceoverwork Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I am not an accountant or a tax attorney, but have owned and run small businesses and paid state and federal taxes for over 45 years and employ the services of an accountant and two attorneys. As the owner of a small business, the CFO of another business, business consultant and instructor at a local college, and fiverr seller, I’m stupefied at people I meet running businesses with no knowledge of basic business laws and best practices. When selling something (service/product/advice/anything) on the open market, it is prudent to set up a DBA, an LLC or Incorporate. Generally speaking in most jurisdictions an oral, verbal or written sale agreement is legally enforceable by either party. Running a business and selling things is not an endeavor to be entered into halfheartedly or ill-prepared. Track all income/expenses whether 5 dollars or 5 million dollars. Use an order tracking system, an AR/AP system and retain all records. Wise business owners also carry liability insurance. When certain products/services are sold out of state, there may be a liability to collect & report sales tax for the state in which the product is delivered and a license to do business in the state may be required. ALWAYS consult a qualified accountant and attorney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
