    If your earnings come from a corporation like Google (Adsense) or CJ, they will send you a 1099 I think. If the rest of your earnings amount to anything much, you've got to file self-employment income. (like me :( )

    The good news is that I designed and maintain my accountants website, so he files everything for me free of charge! :)

    If you are a US citizen and have made any income from website related activities, you must pay taxes for the income.

    I keep my website income separate from my personal income. For the website, I list myself as a Sole Proprietership and pay taxes that way.

    If you are unsure, go see an accountant. The last thing you want is the IRS visiting.
