    I thought it as 600 Per Requester? Like I could do 500 from Crowdflower and 500 from Medcrowd and not have to file?

    If you're trying to avoid the 1099K, they'll only send it out if you reach $600 per requester.

    IIRC that's just for each individual requester.

    I was talking about this yesterday but these John K hits are the perfect example of low paying HITs that you can do faster by preloading. Get them going in two tabs so that you don’t have to wait for the pics to load to do each HIT, will speed you up a lot.

    I don't think he hard blocks, I, for example, simply had my qualification taken away the last time we did these.

    He's a pretty good requester and you can make a lot doing his HITs.

    REALLY?! This is amazing news!! I'm glad I said something here (I felt stupid posting it, but knew I might be annoying with penny hits). Awesome. I guess I'll carry on, thank you so much!

    Though technically you should be filing regardless.

    Far as I know that's incorrect. You have to file no matter what, you're an independent contractor and, say for instance, if you make 500 from 20 different requesters, that's 10000 untaxed dollars. Uncle Sam will come looking for you. There's a tax discussion thread around here somewhere, I'll link it when I find it.

    Ugh, well, the computer made my decision for me. Guess I'm going shopping. Mturk will not load for me right now, only site I can't get to load! Oh well, see you all later!

    I am always both disappointed and relieved when CF sentiment HITs cut me off..

    Exactly. You don't HAVE to file, but technically, if you get 5 bucks for even mowing a lawn they want you to claim it...

    Ok, I'll check out that discussion. I thought I had read that you only filed anything over $600 but obviously don't want to cause issues with the 'ol Uncle :) My husband has been a 1099 before so he knows how to do all of that. Thanks for all of the input!

    If you are ever audited, and you did not file, you could be in trouble.
