    I had this problem earlier and a reboot of my PC is all that fixed it (I was already using the worker link and had this problem).

    FWIW the dashboard json kinda shows whats going on a bit:

    PHP:
    "earnings_to_date":{"approved":$$$,"bonuses":$,"total_earnings":$$$$},"current_balance":-$$$,"balance_by_end_of_last_year":-$$$,"balance_by_end_of_year_before_last":0.0}
    So:

    approved + bonuses = total_earnings [this math works just checked]

    total_earnings - (SUM(balance_by_end_of_last_year + balance_by_end_of_year_before_last)) = earnings for YTD [approved unpaid + approved paid]

    approved_unpaid = total_earnings - current_balance

    Assuming? Not checking the math to make sure it adds up on the dash 'cause lazy lol.

    Isn't that a new feature though? I remember people waiting on the official yearly to show. I'm just using that as proof that we should wait for all of the year's hits to approve before filing. :dunno:

    Too late for this year, but if you have a job where you get a W-2, increase your witholdings from that to help cover the taxes you have to pay on your turker earnings.

    Friendly Reminder: Pulling pucks with magnets in 15 minutes. Don't forget the survey. Be there or be square. No monkeying around.

    Unless you have any sort of debt. Using the extra money to make payments on something like a credit card at 20% is much better than letting the IRS hold your money for up to 16 months

    There is no need to wait if you don't want to. Trust me when I say, they don't care if you are calculating the total based off of total earnings and subtracting previous years. They have it there for you to use. Some people have to estimate their earnings and make quarterly payments to the IRS, this is what they use. They only care if you are fabricating earnings, not if you are doing running calculations based on numbers you have every reason to believe are accurate. When Amazon and really the IRS stopped requiring requesters to send out 1099 forms, this is what everyone was left with. A printout of your earnings screen and whatever else you do to track earnings is the proof of income and they know that and are okay with it.

    True. I do have debt. I wanted to see how my return turned out this year with dayjob + $11k in turk monies. Then will adjust for next year.
