However, the ones I have taken makes you try things out or order them. What surveys can I join to just get paid for taking them? http://www.FreeFlys.com/Forums/view_topic.php?Topic=Money_you_earn_on_taking_surveys_and_polls_taxable_&id=100#Reply1627 I am new at this trying to feel my way around and I'm lost - like one I'm doing how do you finish the survey if they don't let you out of the screen? When you log out of it - it takes you back to the previous screen!!!! Help - I could really use this so I can quit my part time job; I'd rather do this, than put in the 20 1/2 - 21 hrs every weekend that I do where I work; my kids need me!!!!! What should I do? http://www.FreeFlys.com/Forums/view_topic.php?Topic=Money_you_earn_on_taking_surveys_and_polls_taxable_&id=100#Reply1651 i am in the same boat as most of you - i want to do the surveys but not order a bunch of things or join in on travel clubs, etc. most adds say free then want your credit card number when that happens, i log out. but is there any legal way to make a part time income from the web. sue http://www.FreeFlys.com/Forums/view_topic.php?Topic=Money_you_earn_on_taking_surveys_and_polls_taxable_&id=100#Reply1699 Beau Do you see the same sites I do? None of them promise you what they say unless you are to pay for it. They will fifty cents you to death...but if you want to get real money you have to spend to purchase a service. Those sites who say get 50 100 250 dollars are blowing smoke unless you purchase or get a major loan. I am a member of several sites and all the ones who want to pay something require a major purchase and you know it. http://www.FreeFlys.com/Forums/view_topic.php?Topic=Money_you_earn_on_taking_surveys_and_polls_taxable_&id=100#Reply1977 To all out thear i am homeless and looking for all the grat dills and all can get .I spind one to 2 here at the library looking up things that can make me money so if can make some that would bee cool it is not with out the bukes http://www.FreeFlys.com/Forums/view_topic.php?Topic=Money_you_earn_on_taking_surveys_and_polls_taxable_&id=100#Reply1988 Money you earn on taking surveys and polls taxable? Yes and no. If you make $600. or more at any one survey site within a given year, you will be responsible for taxes. They will sen you a 1099 that you must file with your taxes. I have not yet made and more than $599 on any one of the 23 survey site I take surveys on. http://www.FreeFlys.com/Forums/view_topic.php?Topic=Money_you_earn_on_taking_surveys_and_polls_taxable_&id=100#Reply2088 I do not think I can legally list the surveys that I take. i went through hundreds of survey sites and finally settled on the one that DO offer cash, gifts, products to try etc. You just have to do some serious research to find the ones that are bona fide. http://www.FreeFlys.com/Forums/view_topic.php?Topic=Money_you_earn_on_taking_surveys_and_polls_taxable_&id=100#Reply2089 Hello Everyone, I have read your postings about paying taxes on amounts over $600 per company and such. I've been a self employed tax preparer for over 20 years and I would like to clarify a few things. First, if you make over $600 from one company, the company is supposed to send you a 1099Misc form which then requires you to report the income in one of three places: as Misc Income (the total) on the "other" line of the Form 1040, as Hobby Income on a separate sheet of paper (listing the total income minus expenses up to the amount of the income) with the difference going to the same "other" line of the Form 1040, or on the "Income" line of a Schedule C. The latter is the form a self-employed person uses; it allows write-offs for expenses related to surveying: printing, a percentage of equipment, software, etc. If you are not doing this full time &/or making bunches of money, it's best to use the "other" line or the hobby option. However, the tax laws say that the signer, that's YOU, certifies that the information in the return is true to the best of his/her knowledge. The tax laws say that ANY money made is required to be reported, that is, every dollar. It's true that if you only make, say $40 it won't affect a return very much, if at all. However, if you consider yourself a self-employed survey taker and you make over $400 by ADDING ALL YOUR COMPANY'S INCOMES TOGETHER, you are supposed to file a Schedule C with ALL THE INCOME and, minus the expenses, pay tax on the NET. If you consider yourself in a money-making hobby, you are supposed to report ALL THE INCOME, list and subtract all the expenses, and add the result ($0 or more) to the tax return to see if you owe tax on it. The $600 limit is the requirement for the COMPANY to report your earnings to IRS. YOUR responsibility is to report every dollar as "other" income, hobby income, or self-employed income. By staying under $600 you won't be reported by a company, but your signature is supposed to verify the truth. Whichever way you go, I think it's important to know what you are choosing. Happy surveying!!

I wanted to know do anybody have any legitimate survey company that they would like to share with me to get me started?
