    Hi,

    I'm intresting in started a pixel advertising type website(please don't laugh I have a good spin for it :))

    What I'm wondering is do I have to worry about paying taxes on what I receive(the payment medium is paypal)? I know absolutely nothing about tax laws ect, and I don't want the IRS to hunt me don't for tax evasions.

    Thanks!

    Income is taxable.
    Keep track of the income from your site (good luck with a pixel, the most overworked hype on the net right now).
    Keep track of your expenses (hosting cost, script cost, etc relating to that site).

    IRS is not a meanie organization, if you play by the rules.
    They do have a section or group that does nothing but look at online revenue, etc.
    They do keep track of sites and if there is income, it had best be reported.
