    Do I required to pay taxes for income from directory?

    If yes how do I pay taxes for directory income? For AdSense income you get 1099-MISC. Since most of the payments for directory come from Paypal and most case I don’t keep track of it – how do I determine how much of this income is taxable.

    Any information/advices will be highly appreciated.

    Talk to a CPA. Any income you get is taxable income, the only thing is if your TOTAL income is below the taxable amount.

    If you make more than $600 a month in ads from affiliates or whatever it may be you should register with the IRS.

    You are required to declare ALL income to the IRS - technically even if you get $1 for taking a survey. The $600 number comes from the required 1099 filing by the person who pays you - but that has nothing to do with what is required to be reported on your tax return.

    That is interesting. I did not know about this. So how do you report income less than 600 or you get 600+ from multiple people?

    Forget about the $600 figure for reporting income. If you have any income that was not reported on a 1099, you would report it as non-1099 misc. income. It may also be subject to self-employment tax. The point I was making is that the IRS expects you to report ALL income, regardless of the amount - not just money that you get a 1099 on.

    I funnel my Paypal address earnings from my various online ventures to an address located in a country where there aren't any IRS worries.

    There is a difference between what you are legally supposed to do, and doing something which you hope you never get caught.

    Remember though, federal income tax is illegal, corporate income tax is legal. If you are not a corporation, don't pay income tax unless you expect to get some back. Go watch America: Freedom to Fascism

    Correct.

    And if you make over a certain dollar amount annual, you have to pay quarterlies. Unless you have another gig as your full time. Online is a secondary.

    Makes no difference where the money goes (geographically) only where you or your business is legally based (depending on if you and your business are considered a single or separate legal entities.

    The "no IRS worries" simply is that they cannot take that money but that doesnt stop them seizing items/ money that you do hold in your country for non-payment of due taxes
