Can't find good HITs? 12/19

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

 

I just made $10.00 off the Crowflower HIT - will.i.am - Scream & Shout - Video Sentiment

If anyones bored that one is really fast at .04 a pop

 

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

 

EASY- shop on the computer, expedite shipping- keep workin'
oh, i'm a fan of chocolate!

 

You are correct.

 

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!

 

I haven't gotten any freebies from johnk yet. Did he quit doing that? Cause that was awesome..

 

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.

 

There's some decent tax discussion in this thread:

Naturegirl also made a pretty thorough blog posting about taxes and mTurk:

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..

 

He is the one that posted in on another forum I read that he hard blocks, JohnK him self said it.

 

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!
