By skyforbes Hope all is well,
My story would be..I do online surveys for Self Employment for the past 2 years. I usually make around $3,600 a year..300 a month basically.
I have a brokerage account that as I write this is $60 thousand. What am I to look for on my statement that I would have to report as income. Quite frankly, I'm oh so confused about all of this At the beginning of the year in order to get re certified, I wrote $500 a month. I have never actually filled out that section or maybe I just kept getting automatically re certified. I honestly don't recall, but I knew I did it at the beginning of the year. All I know is I do my taxes every year and provide investment paperwork as well as totalling my survey money.
As I scroll the statement, I come to Activity Summary and it includes
Securities sold or redeemed- $2,600
Dividends 25 bucks
Interest-0
capital gains and other distributions-0
I come to another section – Income and Distributions and and Reinvestments.
There are 3 different transactions totally 25 dollars.
So, not sure at all what to make of it. Anybody have any knowledge when it comes to investments?
Thank you
