Commission Junction and taxes?

What do you report to the IRS?

[zeus661]

I have been unable to get this answer from CJ. Do they send anything to you or the IRS on the commissioned earned for tax purposes? Like a 1099?

[MovingOnUp]

If you earned at least $600, they send a 1099-MISC and report it to the IRS. I got mine today.

I got mine today too from CJ (as well as Google's) No check from Google for the month of december tho!

[zeus661]

Clickbank the same way?

[MovingOnUp]

Any business that pays you $600 or more is supposed to send you a 1099-MISC. Not everyone does. You're supposed to pay taxes on everything you earn, whether you get a 1099-MISC or not.

Hi, just wonder how much are you US guys pay for IRS? For example, you earn $1000 from CJ or G, how much tax will you pay to IRS? When and How to pay these tax to IRS?

[mumbledawg]

I figure on about 25%. Pay 4 times a year.

Does anybody have experience being a Canadian affiliate and using only Canadian Merchants. how does this apply to US Withholding tax?

I have my W-8BEN form and am not sure how to complete it.

Thanks

George, they send a 1099-MISC to the address that you have registered in your CJ account. It will be to the name that you used to register your account with as well as the Tax ID or the Social Security number that you signed up with.

Fill out the W8-BEN so they don't take off any tax, it's pretty self explanatory. You don't need an ITIN. Report your earnings to the CCRA as professional income.
