It's that dreaded time of the year when I'm working on my taxes. I haven't received a W2 from Clixsense or from Google. Are W2s issued on these earnings or since it's not employment, do I just note it?

Well in my country you have to declare everything you earn online and say you're "self-employed", and from what I've been told it's our own responsibility when earning cash online from surveys etc to declare it.

Hope that helps a little

You don't get a W2 - you're an independent contractor.

There was a class action lawsuit against crowdflower last year that could have changed this, but the settlement was...unimaginative.

I believe you would receive a 1040 misc - if you make more than $600 per year here

if you have not made that amount it's up to you if you want to report it :lol:

You get a 1099-Misc and I already received mine.

Pssst....... Don't worry about it.

You only get caught up in the trap when you reach $600.00

yeah , that's right 1099 misc ... after earning more than $600 in a year

cause you're considered an independent contractor

ClixSense sends a 1099 and you can keep the one sheet and turn in the other when filing.

The amount is listed in box 7 Nonemployee compensation

I've always received mine in Feb and have already received it.
