Title: Microstock & Taxes (US)
Post by: Hongover on February 09, 2016, 15:07
I noticed that shutterstock was nice enough give us a nice report for our earnings in 2015, which makes for filing taxes easier. Fotolia & Istock doesn't withhold anything, but I can easily export a CSV of my earnings, so they're not too painful.

The only agency that's bothering me is 123RF. They withhold taxes for each image sold, but I haven't gotten a report from them. Do they usually generate one so I don't double pay my taxes?

They have until Feb 15 to get us a 1099.  I am missing theirs and Envanto. Then I can do my taxes. Otherwise I keep an running monthly file off all my sales at each site and will use that.

I don't believe I got one from envato last year.  And they aren't starting their ridiculous sham of sending a 1099 including their fee until 2016 taxes.  I dont expect one from them for 2015.

Does 123RF and Envato usually send one? I would imagine that any competent organization would have send one by now.

No, they often arrive late.  And I have had revised ones arrive very late from several agencies over several years.  So late that my taxes were already with the accountant and I had to call him to change the numbers.
