Chaturbate tax form STILL HASN'T COME?!
Hey guys - a question and a little bit of a rant for you today. I did a quick search and didn't see anyone with this problem but may have overlooked it.
I STILL haven't received my tax form (1099) from Chaturbate. .. WTF?!
I have e-mailed them 3 times about it. Shirley answered and said the first time (after I emailed her on 1/28) "We are mailing a statement of earnings by 1/31/2013. You should get it by next week."
Then I emailed her on 2/21which is WAY more than "next week", and WAY after 1/31. On 2/25 she answered with "Models are just starting to receive 1099's even though we mailed them on 1/30. Please give it some more time to arrive."
Really?! Really?! You're going to give me that excuse? You REALLY think that something you put in the mail (if you really did put it in the mail by the end of January, as is required) is still going to get to me if it's practically March already?! So I e-mailed her again tonight basically saying that.. but nicer. It's March 5th, helloooo! Nothing that you sent at the end of January is going to magically arrive now if it hasn't already.
I am still living in the same place that I received all of my checks at, and even though I haven't cammed in a few months, I never had any issues receiving checks. They always got here within 2-4 days. So what the fuck, Chaturbate?! Where the fuck is my tax form?! I want to do my taxes now instead of having to scramble at the last minute! I shouldn't have to wait until taxes are *due* to wonder where my freaking form is. Just re-send it already, damnit!!
I knowwww, I need to calm down. But seriously. Calling the IRS about it tomorrow. Does anyone else have this problem right now?!

I've got the same issue. I've emailed support and Shirley. Both say the same thing. Getting more than a bit pissed off.

At least I know I'm not the only one, then. Haha :)

I only made $70 last year on CB, so I'm not stressing, but that's ridiculous. I'm sorry you guys are having to deal with this.

You can still do your taxes without the 1099 as long as you've kept your paystubs or accurate records and can declare exactly how much you made. Last year I had 10 different sources of income (some camming, some content, and some having nothing to do with adult work) and only received 1099s from TWO places. I was still able to file. It's not a huge deal, really, as long as you keep accurate records.
For Chaturbate specifically you can log into your chaturbate profile, click token stats, then click "detailed income stats", select date range, and put in January 1st 2012 - December 31st 2012, then "update stats." It will show you a huge breakdown with exactly how much you've made at the bottom. I'd print off that page and keep it in your records, just in case you are audited you use it to show your yearly earnings. You can also print out your Payoneer records and use that to file.
I also didn't get a 1099 from Chaturbate but I wasn't expecting to because I made less than $400 there last year. When I did my taxes this year I was still able to declare what I made just by typing in the name of the company and the amount I earned. That's really all the information that's on the 1099 anyway.
