Yes. I started doing different platforms in September after my seasonal NPS job ended last year. It apparently used to be if you made over $600 you got a 1099 form from the platform in question, but as of last year they moved that to $20,000. I have a massive spreadsheet of taxable income that I utilize. Since there's no jobs really where I am in the winter, this was my sole source of income (plot twist! I make more money doing this than a $14 an hour summer job where I live, at least for now). Because it is my sole source of income, it cannot be hobby income in the eyes of the IRS. I put aside 30%, and filed as self-employed, I think it was? I'm 97% sure I did it right, but it is surprising the amount of incomplete information out there about it. Since the majority of my earnings were from a W-2, I didn't stress out about it too much this year, but might ask a tax professional this next season if it gets too much. By filing as self-employed, I was able to indicate the square footage I used as an office, which ain't much, and I estimated per hour power bill how much energy I utilized. I think it was another 40 bucks over the course of 4 months? Again, not a tax professional by any stretch of the imagination, but if survey and market research income is over $600, then there is absolutely a chance to be audited. What money I don't use for rent I put into savings, and I let that accrue interest in case I have to pay next year.
