Is it ISS that imposes the income limits or are the limits inposed by each MSC?

Hello,


iSS does not impose any income limits, nor is engaged in the payment process - there are shoppers who earn dozens of thousands of dollars via iSS and use shopping as a primary source of income. It's important to note that iSS is just a platform where you can find shops and fill out shop reports - you are still performing them for the specific MSPs that post them, and those MSPs are paying you.


Cheers!

Will I reveive a 1099 from each MSC once I reach $600.00,

Each does it differently. Some have you fill out the 1099 when you sign up, just in case. Others will send it to you when you hit $600 - and withhold pay until you have returned it.

Is 1099 form for US residents only or for Canadians as well?

Any Canadian shoppers here that know the answer?


I just found a thread called "Advise on taxation in Canada" - perhaps you can find something useful there? https://www.secretshopforum.com/thread/3/6/152/advise-on-taxation-in-canada

Each country has its own taxation laws and ways of processing taxes. If you're in Canada, it would be suggested to consult a tax attorney in Canada, and vice versa if you are in the United States. If you are a shopper in both countries, solicit attorneys in both countries. Can't hurt, as long as there's a free consultation. In my opinion, hope this helps.

That's the best advice, I agree completely!
