Please share your stories, experiences and advice in this area about the advantages and disadvantage of taxes concerning online business ( home based business, affliate marketing, work from home, etc. etc. etc….)?
Yes it is a business. that is why all the companies ask you for SS# or Tax ID number. Keep track of your earnings and your expenses. Because the big companies are keeping track and they will report it to IRS.
Affiliate Marketing can be simplified if you find the right products to market and also have learned how to market them in the right ways but how to learn to be an marketer and what if you want to just do an Ecommerce Store? Well I have found a product that helped me earn money online with ecommerce and I am sure it would work for someone else as well and it is called Niche Blueprint 2.0. This is a course filled with material that teaches you how to build these stores and comes with the tools you need for market research, software for the stores themselves and also some tools that you can not find anywhere online, ok you can find them but not for the price that Niche Blueprint comes in at with no monthly fees. So read the Niche Blueprint 2.0 Review here and maybe this year will be your year.

Most people pay taxes on the income they are earning no matter what the source or avenue it is from and according to the country they reside in.
As you are conducting a business as an owner (not an employee), you can gain great tax benefits from claiming the expenses you incur from conducting it. Check with a local accountant to find out what your rights and responsibilities are. They are the best qualified to fully inform you and can provide you with all the necessary details.

Well, if you live in the United States you probably will have to pay taxes. If you earned under $1,000 you should pay taxes but chances are the IRS won’t be knocking on your door for a $100. I’m sure there’s much bigger fish out there to catch.
