I've Tried That - We lose money so you don't have to!

Do You Make Money Online?

Or do you make money by working from home as an independent contractor? If you do and you’re a United States citizen, you might be in for a nasty tax surprise. Read on to see what it is and how to avoid it.

Telecommuters Pay 7.5% More—Automatically

If you’re earning money online through paid surveys or blogging or affiliate marketing or following telecommuting job leads, your tax bill most likely just jumped by at least 7.5% of earnings.

Why? Because when you work for someone else, your employer pays half of your Social Security tax. When you’re a telecommuter/independent contractor, you pay all of it. Even if you only make $100 per month, that’s $1,200 dollars additional income that you’ll have to pay taxes on. Just one of the taxes on that money, the Social Security tax, comes to $169. If you make more, you’ll have to come up with even more when you file your tax return.

Believe me, it bites to fill out your tax forms and realize you owe the IRS hundreds of dollars, or more. It happens to telecommuters because they don’t fully understand the tax implications of their situation and because they don’t know how to avoid it.

To Lower the Tax You Pay in 2009, Start Today

Another mistake telecommuters make is not thinking about taxes until February through March of the year. But by that time it’s too late to do anything to help yourself! If you want to avoid paying too much, the time to get started is now. You need to educate yourself, and I’ve Tried That is here to help.
