Adsense and the 1099

FYI if you haven't done your taxes yet and got your 1099 from Google, you won't be able to e-File if Google took any taxes out. On the upside, you should (I did, anyhow) get a good portion of those taxes back.

why can't you e-file?

and what ever you took out is totally un-related to what you get back based on other income, house mortgage interest, any w2 wages, and so forth...

i owe like 13 grand :(

13 Grand - ouch! :(

You can't e-File (which is news to me, this is my first 1099) if the Feds took anything out of your 1099 at all. As far as I can tell, you _should_ get the majority of your adsense withholdings back regardless, because after I did my regular taxes (I have a masters degree, student loan interest, all that jazz) my return went up as soon as I filled out the Google jive.

You need to start creating some expenses Brian. Time to get an advertising logo on the side of that BMW so that it's lease or loan interest, gas, maintenance, mileage, depreciation, insurance, etc. is fully legally covered as an expense against the income you are making.
