You are probably correct resourseful. However, the people at the state level, at least here In SoDak lurk around Facebook and the local papers looking for people making a buck on the side. I know that for a fact, because my wife got a call from the SD Dept. Of revenue for listing one of her makeup parties on FB. She also has a friend who was breeding puppies that got hit up for making a buck on the side.



Nothing worse than a beurocrat with nothing better to do than harass honest people!

This has a lot to do with South Dakota having no income tax. They get crazy about the sales tax. My company in Oregon only paid/filed one a year. Here we are doing it once a month.

As far as the OP something that has not be brought up yet is this. Things may be no big deal right now but what if you get a major score. Then you have to play catch up and it creates a lot of work for yourself.

Also you can't put it in the bank or invest. For me personally it wouldent take a genius to find extra income in an audit even 2k.
