我今年用turbotax报的税，从amazon收到一张1099表，它问我是否provide service，
我也不知道，想就算是吧，结果它说这可以算self-employ的收入，要我多交10%的
social security。后来才发现如果说我没有provide service，我就只用交incoming
tax。
是不是两种方法报都是合法的？关键看我是不是有足够的bussiness expense 去deduct
。如果没有，就不要按business income 报？
谢谢！ | b***8
发帖数: 621 | 2 正确。用business expense来报，我想你可以拿回更多。 | c****7
发帖数: 4192 | 3 谢谢，问题是我胆子小，不敢随便乱报deduct啊。呵呵。我看turbo tax上啥吃饭啦，
娱乐啦，公交啦，很多乱七八糟得可以报，但是我都不敢啊，这和做associate网站也
没有啥关系似得。
一般来说，如果赚1000块，可以报多少business expense啊？

发帖数: 388 | 5 $1000 income is nothing.
you can report self-employment, then report expense including utility, rent,
gas, meal, bought a PC, printer, office expense, ....
don't report all as expense, report part.
these expense will cover $1000. so, your self-employment net profit is < 0.

发帖数: 388 | 7 no, you misunderstood me.
i don't mean do anything 'illegal', play within the rules.
an example, you rented a apt. 1 bed & 1 living room.
you use the living room did almost all the work for the $1000 income.
the total area is 1000sf, the living room is 500sf. the rent is $1000/month.
then you can report 50% (or maybe lower) rent as expense, which is 12x$
1000x50% = $6000. enough to cover $1000 income.
same to the utility.....
I would suggest use a turbotax or taxcut, try try them, and read the h

if your work is not done in home office, then you can NOT use home rent as
expense......

发帖数: 4192 | 9 That's what I am saying.
我觉得我做的东西和home office撤不上啥关系。所以我最开始的问题是：
是不是我可以不按bussiness incoming报税，也不报任何deduct。这样我不用付10%的
social security。这样报的话合法吗？
谢谢。
