Moved from US -> stuck with money in US AdSense Account

    Hey there.

    When I signed up for AdSense back in the day I lived in the US. I have now moved back to Europe, but am now stuck with my US-account, since I cannot change currency. I have some money left in the account ($100+) that I would like to have paid out.

    My question is this:

    Can I ask my friend to 'pass' me on the money, without having to pay US taxes?
    (The money would be transferred into his account. He would then send it to me through paypal or similar, I would then declare it in my own country and pay taxes here.)

    I have tried Googling a lot, but can't seem to find anyone in my situation.

    Any help is appreciated :)

    You should not be asking a tax question here. If you are really worried about $100 worth of taxable income then tell your friend to issue you a 1099 when he forwards you the money. If he keeps all the records then assuming he gets audited he should be fine if he can show he forwarded the money to you.
