So, question:I've already made more this year on MTurk than the entirety of last year. How much do I need to be putting aside for taxes each month?

Me too. I owe $1000 to the feds, $500 to my state, and I have my first installment of 2016 taxes to pay in 2 weeks as well. Sigh.
I broke even with the State and owe under $100 to Federal. I farm, so that exemption saved me this year. I don't think I am going to get so lucky next year :(

Safe rule of thumb is to just put away 30% of all income you make for taxes.

You can always work down from that number with deductions but its better to be safe than to piss off the government because they will come after you.

I know of a few folks who have never reported Turk on their taxes. They still talk to me so I'm only guessing they aren't being chased.
