The site says they are middlemen, and won't issue 1099s. I only get paid when somebody "accepts my answer." I get about 20% of my answers actually "accepted" thus get paid. This is typical of all people who work there. This amounts to less than min. wage. I feel there should be some sort of write-off for my answers not "accepted." The site says they keep customer deposits in their account "forever." Since most don't accept, I need to know what the site does with customer deposits. They are not saying, except that the money stays in the customer accounts. While they collect all the deposits, again, only 20% of that is paid to people like me. Surely, they cannot leave these deposits "prepaid assets" for longer than a year. They have to recognize unclaimed deposits at income at some point don't they?
If they do recognize income, can I then claim some sort of bad debt expense for "non accepts?" The site keeps the deposits, we only hope for an "accept." to get paid = < min wage
