Anyone have just a second to help me out? I'm filing taxes and I usually opt for Turbotax. I have read other information but nothing is really helping me figure this out with TT. Am I supposed to file this under 1099-C or 1099 MISC? If that is the case, it requires a $34 upgrade :/ And if that is the case, are there any better/cheaper tax things out there that include the ability for me to file both my W2 info and the mturk related income?

marry my husband and have his grandmother do your taxes, that's worked out well for me...T_T

you just reminded me that I have a bag of coconut marshmallows in my kitchen that I haven't devoured yet... I think I have graham crackers somewhere too... Someone bring me some chocolate???

I love those coconut marshmallows. they didn't have any this time, just strawberry and red velvet cupcake marshmallows >.> But if I show up with chocolate you'll share yours right?

Also I like your avatar.

Does anyone know why, when I accept a task from a totally new (to me) requester, it says I've done the maximum number of hits allowed? I don't have a panda going or anything. I haven't even completed one hit for them.

This is self-employment (business) income without an associated 1099-MISC. H&R Block Deluxe or taxact.com will get it done much cheaper than TurboTax, or try http://www.unitedway.org/myfreetaxes/ to potentially do it free through H&R Block Online.

I liked your recommendation for H&R block and usually pick it up when it goes on sale

I still have to pay $20 to file state, though, but the total usually comes out to $40.

Taxact might be cheaper but it's more convoluted

I have some semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips you can have, if you'll share some of those graham crackers. I have some peppermint marshmallows, and now I have to know what chocolate peppermint s'mores taste like.

I don't know what a pusheen box is. Gonna have to google that.

It's possible it's borked, I'm not sure why it would lock you out if you hadn't ever done hits from them before.

quarterly subscription box. This winter was the first one... everything was super useful (hat, t-shirt, coffee mug, hand warmer, etc) in it so I'm going to try and stay subbed to it ;w; A little expensive but so much pusheen

Ah dang it. It seemed like such an easy batch of hits too. Lame sauce.

Sometimes broken, sometimes not really a new requester (changed name and/or account), sometimes sharing data with another requester.
