Has anyone filled out the international tax form? How does it work when we file our taxes (Canada)?? Thanks for any help you guys have!

Technically you are supposed to claim all income. Its going to be a learning experience for me, because I've never done online(outsourced) work before!

Yeah the tax thing is all one big confusing mess in my head. I'm pretty glad I started turking after this year's taxes.

I did 100 of the tebo ones yesterday, you write a description of an image shown, and it suggests that if it has words in it, that you use those words.....well i had 100 rejections, and I did exactly as it said?!?

For the tax thing, I think (and I may be wrong) that you have to make a certain amount for the taxes to come into effect (like in Canada, you have to make a certain amount before you start claiming)

That is my understanding too, but I'm not sure if its
A) based on what you earn with mTurks in total for all hits
B) based on x amount with any individual hit poster (ie earning $500 just with Dolores Labs)
C) amazon.com credits counting as money (income) when filing taxes

That sucks!

Check www.turkernation.com forum. I find that helps because they have a list of requestors to avoid. At least it wasn't more than 100.

Oh wow, that sucks. Those HITs scare me. I haven't attempted one, because it often seems that what's already written is as good as I could write it! (If they're the ones I'm thinking of)

Try the ContentGalore 150-300 word articles for $1.70.

Had a great day yesterday, made over $6.00! Love that it really takes very little brain-power, and that you can just do them while you are sitting outside tanning or while watching tv!

I'm going to make my goal for August $85

That's definitely doable! I've made $119.45 since July 9th, and that doesn't include the HITs that haven't approved yet.

If you write 2 150-300 word articles a day, that'll give you an easy $100 bucks a month, right there.

Went on a search for this group and couldn't find it. Are they always posted or do they just post a couple times a week?

Hmmm... ContentGalore is open for US residents only. You must be using AOL?

Nope. Can you not access the HITs? Most HITs say US only, but the generally doesn't prevent Canadians from working on them.

I can't. This is the message i get:

Is there a way around this message?
