Hello BHW. I live in the state of Georgia, in the United States. I'm pretty oblivious when it comes to taxes. Does anyone know how much money you need to make in order to pay taxes? I'm currently self-employed.
 
As a self employed business owner you should show proof of income and claim all earned money. If your earned money is below $7,000 I think you do not need to claim it?

You need a 1099 form if I am not mistaken.

PS: I am not a tax attorney lol

Cheers,

Hire a CPA to get rid-off all of these in-productive tasks.
 
If you're self-employed and don't know much about taxes I would highly recommend you hire a CPA or EA who is based in your hometown. There could be half a dozen different taxes and tax forms you need to file so it's not as easy as getting one answer from an online forum.
 
if you'r not making at least 5 figures it doesn't matter, they don't have enough resources to check everybody making money online. Even if you'e making 5 figures it rarely matters. Technically you should claim any amount you make...but if you're worried just find a local CPA who will probably help you out for 100 bucks.
 
From what I know anything over $300.00 should be reported. I you have legitimite expenses they will reduce your income and thus the amount of tax you owe. If you have more expenses than income then you need to find a new business.
