1099 form, how do you avoid getting one? and if you cash out for an amazon GC will you get a 1099 for that?

Is that something new?

I cashed out another site recently for an electronic Amazon card, and had no issues with it.

I think the rule if you earn more than 600 bucks from websites, you have to declare it, but don't take my word on that.  I'm Canadian, so we don't fill out 1099.

  That is what I understand also, you get it for anything over $600.00 earned.

I'm not sure if gift cards count as income or not so can't answer that part.  I think it's if you make less than 600 a year you should be safe?

I got two 1099's from survey sites this year ! YES 600.00  money and or gift cards both count .  If your getting close to 600.00 at the end of the year hold off cashing out till the next year.  Remember your internet connection is a expense then  if your getting that 1099 so if the net costs you 60.00 a month  or 720.00 a year it wipes that 600.00 out Tax people can help with that.

Also the survey site has to get you're SS number to send you a 1099 .  Some thing they ask for when you're close to 600.00

I want to point out it's 600.00 per survey site NOT all combined.  So you could have 10 sites doing 400.00 each  and not have a 1099 . If you wanted to not get the 1099 spread your self out on sites and  your earnings.

Not a dumb question - only dumb one is one not asked!

I believe you receive a 1099 only if you earn more than $600 in calendar year on the site (I don't even come close to that!)

You have to make a certain amount a year. The first year I started doing surveys I got close to hitting the $600 on one of my accounts so I focused on my other sites.

I think i heard that paypal doesn't count as it relates to the 600$ a year thing. Is that true?
