I don't think anyone wants to open that can of worms again. I think the best advice is to talk to a tax professional
http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc554.html Edit: for those who don't want to read "You usually must pay self-employment tax if you had net earnings from self-employment of $400 or more. Generally, the amount subject to self-employment tax is 92.35% of your net earnings from self-employment. This rate consisted of 10.4% for Social Security and 2.9% for Medicare taxes for 2012. Self-employment tax is computed on Form 1040, Schedule SE."
"You usually must pay self-employment tax if you had net earnings from self-employment of $400 or more." i only made like $250 last year... i'm off the hook!

Survey / Study Reminder Hiya all! Just a reminder... It is completely inappropriate to discuss any (and I mean ANY) detail about any survey or study type HIT. This means attention checks, specific questions, or any other detail about the HIT... OK: This HIT took too long for the pay... OK: This HIT took xxx minutes... OK: I did this HIT and it paid in xxx time... NOT OK: Pretty much anything else. For normal work or batch HITs this is not an issue. Sorry to come down on this but these requesters pay a lot of money to get valid results and mTurk Forum can not be associated with any discussions that would invalidate those results. I am not referring to any one or any HIT in particular - this is just a reminder! Thanks!
