hello, i am completely new at this, I currently get paid by check through a shopping comparison site and thats my only source of income, and i get paid as an individual. i got a 1099-MISC form mailed to me from the site that pays me, my question is do i need to file my tax returns?? any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hm a bit late in the game to be asking. Usually there is a certain amount - like $5,000 or $7,500. I cannot remember. If you made below $5,000, I doubt that you need to. You might check over at Small Business Forums as well. There might be a CPA there that can answer the question.
