in 2015 you either a) had other income withheld and or credits and or other things to offset the taxes you should have paid on your mturk income or b) you did it wrong

this ^

I'm confused, are we all getting those?
I've almost got my money saved for $500 in taxes I have to pay.

You only get a 1099 if you make over $20k in a calendar year. You still have to report your earnings when you do your taxes. They just don't send out the paper unless you reach $20k.

Actually received a 1099-k for mturk in the mail.
The IRS wants me to pay $4000 FOH

This is why you need to put some of your mturk earning into savings so you have the tax money at tax time.

My husband made a homemade chocolate chip cheesecake. Just ate my dessert. I will not be getting much work done. It is definitely couch time.

or just don't make over $600 in a year, than you don't have to report it.

Have you ever had a job that you pretty much like and it is interesting work, and you like the people you work with...

Never.

Got my Amazon Prime extended by one month. The new computer was supposed to arrive today, per Amazon and UPS, but then at the last minute UPS changed it to tomorrow. So yay, a free month of Prime!

if I did it wrong, then I must have lucked out.

Have you ever had a job that you pretty much like and it is interesting work, and you like the people you work with, but there is always that one really annoying co worker, who you really secretly wished would never come back to work or would get another job.

I'm pretty sure everyone who's had a job has had that experience. My last job....I felt that way towards multiple people

This is why you need to put some of your mturk earning into savings so you have the tax money at tax time.

I'm a good saver so I've got the money. It's just that $4000 is just a helluva lot to be giving to this goddamn trump government.

I agree, I say that every time I see my paycheck and see all the taxes they take out. I feel bad for all the young ones who get SS tax taken out, because there probably won't be any by the time they get to be 65, or whatever age medicare eligible will be by then.
