Hello! I just have a quick question. This is my first year into adsense. I have made a pretty good amount! Let's just say for example, that I made $1,500. Is this taxable? If so, how much (percentage wise) is taxed? If anyone has any helpful info, I am sure it would help me out!! Thank you!
ANY income you earn in the US is taxable, including adsense income and affiliate income. You can, of course, claim your hosting, domain name, and other costs as deductions. But you can bet that you're going to get in trouble if you don't claim it. Why else do you think Google makes you give them a W9 form when you sign up? It's because they are required to send your earnings to the IRS.
Yep you have to add this to your yearly income. And I don't know about USA but if things works like in my country, you can bet that Google will send a copy of your W9 statement at the end of the year to the IRS, so... The percentage you'll pay should be the same that you pay on your principal income.
