Paying taxes with Skimlinks? (amazon affiliate alternative)

by zep123dmc

Anybody make over $600 with skimlinks last year and included those earnings filing taxes this year? Skimlinks does not send a 1099 fyi: Where is my 1099 tax form? : Skimlinks Support

"If you are a US taxpayer this does not necessarily mean the commissions are not taxable to you. You will need to consult with your tax adviser."

If you're supposed to claim your earnings, which part of say the basic turbotax form would you include that in?

    I claim non 1099 income on schedule C in Turbo Tax. The software asks me to input my 1099 income first and then it asks if I had non 1099 income. I answer "Yes" and it allows me to input that income.

    Thanks, Bonnie. I'm using the free turbotax 'freedom edition' online, and I don't see schedule C within the interface. I found this though and this looks like the place to enter in the amount:
    "Other Wages Received
    Sources of other wages may include:
    Wages earned as a household employee
    Sick or disability pay not reported on Form 1099-R
    Excess salary deferrals Explain This
    Other earned income; including wages not reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099 Explain This"

    Hi,

    That sounds like the right place to declare the income.

    wow, never heard of Skimlinks before but just went and checked it out! thank you so much, it looks really good.. Can you target international customers with it? on amazon you can only do US only or UK only which is very annoying
