AdSense related

My parents aren't together and my mum has to report her wages and such.
I currently use Google Adsense and am beginning to earn half decent amounts.
I'm wondering if Google Adsense is a income and how would my mum report the earnings?

Yes its a income, im guessing its under your moms name. She could report it as misciallaniouse (wrong spelling) or a side income.. This is if you live in the US... Though, I am pretty shore, that you do have to report it.

In the us you have to report it. In fact, Google will give you the appropriate tax forms for you to do so come april of every year.

its more she reports her wage every 2 weeks and i'm not sure how to do it/ explain it to her.

Check you tax laws in AUS, here is the US, if you earn more than $599.00 you will receive a 1099 at the end of the year and you claim that on taxes. I would assume AUS has a similar structure.

i knew about the $599 thing but its my mum has to report her wage because of my parents breaking up.
what would she report it as?

As long as you are of legal age to earn adsense money your mom won't have to report it... you will. And I don't understand what you mean when you say "What would she report it as?"

Report is as additional income probably as "other" or "miscellaneous".
