The same thing happened to me on DP once, except I had plenty for a payout and someone immediately made a payout request.  The interesting thing was that they didn't request all of the money, only part of it.  It was a nuisance but easily straightened out at least.  Good advice about reading those e-mails!

I did, but I submitted it to microstock and now it's a 25-cent photo.

It started slow but ended up being fine - a little less than April last year but no complaints.  That was mainly due to higher-value sales - more clip sales than usual at SS, multiple ELs on SS and even one on 123, Canva doing great (although a lot less than last year), FT very strong, DT and CS weak, others OK and even a couple of sales on featurepics.  Wish it would continue but without the rare, high-value sales it would be grim as volume was down more than 300 DLs from April 2016.

Unfortunately I think that's your only option.  They said they would work on the contributor pages at some point but I'm not going to hold my breath.  As long as they keep getting sales that's the main part, although it definitely would be nice to be able to search our own images more easily.

I had a great 10-day vacation in the Carolinas.

Click in the upper left by your name to bring down the menu, then click Account settings, then Admin, then View portfolio.  I don't think you can search it but it will show your images with decision with the most recent first.  Hope that is what you were looking for.

We have to wait a year? Is that what they said?  I thought they were going to send us the money expeditiously as soon as they closed the accounts.  If they want us to wait a year then maybe it is time for a class-action lawsuit.

I tried to check my account just now and their page won't load - very annoying.  I suspect they are planning to run off with the money and keep it.

I just got an e-mail from them today saying they have deleted my images.  Glad I never bothered uploading many there and stopped quite a while ago.  Hopefully they will send the money soon and can be done with them.

It's when it's withholding for taxes in other countries that can be an issue. If your country has a double taxation treaty with the country that is withholding tax, then you should be able to offset if against what you owe in your own country. You're pretty much out of luck if you live in a tax free country though, or there's no double taxation treaty.

Very true.  In the US you can just file it as credit for a foreign tax paid, but if in a country without a tax treaty that wouldn't work. 

Are there countries with no income tax?  I know some US states don't have income tax but didn't know about any countries.

Mine are still up there and even had a sale.  One of mine apparently was trending as well but that didn't keep me in their fold.  Maybe they've suddenly realized they will have to come up with the cash to pay out the closed accounts and have rethought.

I see what you're saying but there's a big difference between money in the account of a stock agency and your bank account.  Let's take DT for an example.  They don't pay out until you request it.  Usually I just let the money there accumulate and request a big payout once a year in December.  One year it took them a while to process the request and they didn't actually make the payout until January.  So I had zero income from them for the year before but had to report that money during the next year.  The IRS only knows what is reported on the 1099 so it makes no difference to them either way.  I'm not an accountant, but I assume companies have categories for money earned and not paid out, which probably complicates the books.  I assume that is why many agencies go to automatic payouts above a limit to minimize the amounts in limbo.  The money has been credited, but not earned for tax purposes until it has been paid, except at FT and Envato.  To be safe I go with the 1099 because that is what the IRS knows about.  It certainly is confusing though.

but, if earnings were only reported at the point of withdrawal, then somebody earning tens of thousands of dollars a year, could just choose not to withdraw it and then not have to pay any taxes... as nothing would have been reported. 

Yes, that is correct - they would not pay any taxes because they haven't received any income.  If they want to spend the money they will have to withdraw it and pay their taxes.  I prefer to pay taxes only on money that was withdrawn, as it isn't really earned if it isn't in your pocket.  However, either way works as long as you know about it.  I try to request a payout around the middle of December every year to minimize the difference for those agencies that don't pay out automatically.

Envato and FT both provide the amount earned during a calendar year to the IRS, regardless of whether it was paid (like all the other agencies do).  Very annoying.  For Envato that is the total sales price not the amount you earned - you need to deduct their seller fees off as a cost.

Since they reported the amount to the IRS I would include it in your income just to avoid any possible hassles.  However, once you deduct off the 60% or whatever it is they keep it isn't going to add a lot to your taxes.
