Revenue generated from Google would be considered taxable income, that you are responsible for reporting to the IRS and paying taxes on. Since you're not an employee of Google, they don't take taxes out of your payments. Legally, you're considered an independent contractor. After the year ends, you'll receive a 1099 form from Google stating how much income you received in 2004. If you make over $500/yr, Google will report the amount to the IRS so it will be important you report that income come tax time.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=56093 You're never underage when it comes to being able to be taxed! At least in the UK thats the case and I would presume that would be the case in most countries. Just think, if there was an age limit that you had to reach before being able to be taxed, think of the number of businesses that would be legally owned by toddlers to avoid paying taxes! | ||||

You get an automatic standard deduction, so unless you've got another job somewhere, you're safe as long as you make less than $4,000 or so. You have to claim income, technically, no matter the size. Google will automically report to the IRS any income over $600, but the right thing to do is to report any amount no matter what. Mind you, not a tax lawyer, fool.com has a free bulletin board system with tax advice, might check out their opinion. -Allan
