In the UK, if I earn $100 (or even $1 actually) in a whole year's blogging and fail to declare it, I would be subjected to at least a $200 penalty. Even though I wouldn't actually be taxed on such a small amount, the offence is to fail to declare. :-( I’m moving to the States!!!!!

Will that happen? I doubt it. Chris: From what I understand, we could make $599 from 500 different sources and not be taxed. Will that happen? I doubt it.

Some are in the form of money, so I wonder if taxes are imposed on it too.. I’m not so sure on the tax laws on my side blogging as well.. :D How about ’sponsorships’ for blogs?

Or do you still have a duty in the US to report your earnings. We have to report ANY money considered income (ie not a gift)but only get taxed above a certain level. Show off ;-)

So as long as I only make $599 from each of them, I won't receive a 1099, and don't have to claim anything! Not likely...I'll most likely be 1099'd by Google this year considering I've made almost $200 in my first 2 months of ads. Hey Chris:
