    Does anyone know anything else about this $1200 stimulus thing. I did not work anywhere but mturk in the past couple of years but never made enough to require a tax return. Do I need to do anything to qualify or whatever?

    You can qualify by filing your taxes. If you made I believe $600 last year then you're required to pay taxes on your mturk income.

    I'm pretty sure you can and probably should pay taxes on your MTurk income even if you made less than $600.

    Even if you didn't I'm 99% positive you can still file a 1040. I'd do it ASAP that way they have your info in the system.
    If it's <$400 (total, not just mturk) I think they give you a full pass & don't even have to file, but haven't looked in forever tbh.

    I am not trying to doubt you since you both said $600, but https://www.hrblock.com/tax-center/income/other-income/how-much-do-you-have-to-make-to-file-taxes/ says $12,200? Am I reading this wrong?

    They go based on 2018 taxes if you haven't filed your 2019 yet. If you haven't done either, I'd file your taxes asap to have a chance to receive it

    But I didn't get a 1099 from mturk? I don't want to break the law. If it needed then it needed. I just thought I was safely below the requirement to file.

    I'm no expert but I believe that to be correct as well. The article had this below "You might also be required to file for other reasons, such as if you’re self-employed or paid on a 1099-MISC form" which leads me to also believe that's for a W2.

    Well shit, looks like I have a mess to clear up. Guess it's good they extended the filing dates.

    Thanks for the input all. I didn't understand I was THAT misinformed.
