i have received free items, most of which I assumed were under $100. how do I know if a 1099 was issued or not. I know I am supposed to get one if the value is $600 but what if its under that limit. i did not give any of these companies my social security number but how can I make sure that there is no 1099 for any of these free products

Great post, Christina. You provide some great analysis on doing taxes as a blogger, especially your point about keeping you and your records organized. We recently wrote a piece ourselves on deducting business gifts if anyone is looking for further insight on the subject. We think it would supplement your main points very well. Come check it out and let us know what you think. https://blog.usetallie.com/deducting-business-gift-expenses/

Great article, but I’m living in the UK and not sure if these tips fully apply here? Does anybody know a website which has current UK information about Tax Tips for Blogging?

In reply to Katie Stuart. Hi Katie, The great part is you can file together. You just have to complete a separate form called a 1040Schedule C, and include this with your 1040. There is a line on your main 1040 where you enter your business income, or loss.

In reply to Elissa. Hi Elissa, According to IRS.gov: "You have to file an income tax return if your net earnings from self-employment were $400 or more. If your net earnings from self-employment were less than $400, you still have to file an income tax return if you meet any other filing requirement listed in the Form 1040 instructions."

This is great! I would love to see a post about knowing when you should file. At what point? At what income level? etc.

This is great information! Maybe I missed the post on it, but what does the acronym SWAG stand for?

This is a great post, because I was completely oblivious to the whole concept before!
I still don’t know where you include your income and expenses information when doing your taxes. Do you have to file separately as a business?

Thanks,
Katie
