Beautifulone1 11 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I have SSI and was taking surveys unaware that it will probably be taxed, what I earn. Can someone explain this process to me because I don't want to get in trouble. I mainly got gift cards to department stores, Kohls, Macy's, Dominos Pizza etc in amounts of $25-$50. I would appreciate it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
somelady 249 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 You won't be taxed unless you make $600 or more at 1 or more survey sites. They don't report you unless you make that much or more in one years time. Now if you report yourself, put these earnings on your taxes of course they will make you pay no matter how little you earned. Don't tell them. I think the survey sites send you a form when you are nearing $600 or after you earned that much. A lot of people keep track of how much they earned on each site, when they get close to $600 they stop taking surveys on that site until the next year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geezer69 1 Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 I just had this happen to me. Does anyone know if points rewarded for airline miles or hotel points count towards that 600? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for that info, I was keeping track of my earnings but didn't realized that Dynata ran so many other sites. They run e-rewards, One Opinion and many others. I only were taking surveys with those two and didn't know they were connected and it added up past my desired limit. I really don't know how much I went over and when I requested a copy of my earnings, they never got back with me just emailed a form to fill out concerning taxes.(They wanted me to put in my social security #) I never filled it out because they can just send me the form in the mail and I will go from there.

schludermann 291 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 in some cases, for SSI, it would considered income and other cases it is not. https://specialneedsanswers.com/think-carefully-before-giving-gift-cards-to-an-ssi-recipient-12679 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
