HELP PLEASE....How do you download pictures and larger files using...

Sorry, but I have yet to take the Apple Koolaid. But you could probably search on how to do it on Youtube or a dedicated apple forum.

When will new shops post?

The biggest forum that I know of seems to have bit the dust.

What is the best way to find other MSC's? I'm new to mystery shopping.

Here is where I find most of mine,

Recording Apps

I use Smart Recorder. It has recorded up to three hours when I forgot to shut it off. Just look in the play store or the app store for a recording app.

Tax Requirement

OK well, first of all, you were told wrong. The $600 amount is before you will be issued a 1099 form which is a statement of income. But the IRS says that any money that you earn you will have to declare for income taxes You will have to pay the entire part for Social Security not only the part that you would normally pay but also the part that your employer would pay since you are working as an Independent Contractor. That will be 15% of what you make. The reimbursements are not taxed because they are paying you back for what you spent to do the shop. On a side note, you will have to keep really good records about what you spent because some times the companies will not separate the fee from the reimbursements they just lump them together.


Oh yeah if you question that go see a CPA you can write that off next year as a business expense.

QSI

And since it is a requirement it is also a tax write off at the end of the year. It is written off at the rate of $25 per year for the next 5 years. But as always talk to a tax person that does taxes all year long.

Have you ever been banned from a company for requesting a reschdule of a shop, 3 weeks in advance?

I have been banned and then reinstated because there was a mess up with some of the emails sent to me that were bouncing from the MSC

Insight Intouch

This has been an OK app but I do wish there was more work out here in Fly-Over Country.

It would be nice if they take my password that I have tried to enter as three different times. Bah Humbug.

App running in back ground.

Maybe try uninstalling the app and then power cycle the phone and see if that will stop it.

Not ever going to a sit-down restaurant again. This Covid-19 will be with us forever now just like the flu. It will change from year to year just like the flu does. It is already getting into cats and dogs and they live with us just wait till it shows up in a pig and then a bird. It will be the swine and the avian flu's look like a walk in the park.
