Are the ides of April on your mind?
February 6th, 2007 | Published in Google Adsense
2007 is officially here, and now that you've finished sweeping up the confetti and setting New Year's resolutions, you may be thinking about how you're going to report your 2006 taxes. April 15th is just around the corner, so we'd like to give you some information on AdSense tax reporting.
As required by U.S. tax law, we'll send IRS forms 1099 and 1042-S to qualifying publishers. To determine whether you are a qualifying publisher and if you should expect to receive one of these forms, please review the criteria in our Help Center . These tax forms were mailed on January 31st, so any forms sent to you should arrive during February.
As a reminder, checks dated in 2006 will be reported in 2006. This means that unpaid earnings from 2006 that are rolled over to 2007 will not be included. For example, December earnings which are paid in January 2007 will not be included as earnings for 2006.
As always, if you have any questions about your specific tax situation, it's best to speak with a tax advisor. You can also find more information about U.S. tax requirements by visiting the IRS website.
