Meh I'm having my mom send it in. If they tell me I need to pay taxes on it I'll just ignore them. :-p

I already paid my taxes, FYI.

There is no way they are going after someone who has already paid their taxes on money just because they didn't specifically file where it's from. If it wasn't for this forum, 99% of people involved would have no idea to file it anyway. Also not everyone reads this forum. The ridiculous notion that there are going to be 6 figure fines and jail time associated with this is a joke.

Yeah I'm going to jail and having to pay 100k because I had 20k in Neteller at some point, which I paid taxes on, just because I didn't tell them it was specifically from Neteller. It's the stupidest piece of garbage I've ever heard, and it's just to scare people for no reason. BS like this shouldn't be allowed to be posted on this forum.

Yeah post that maybe it's something you should do, but don't throw in stuff about how if you don't you are risking jailtime. It's just ridiculous. At worst there will be some slap on the wrist or very minor penalty. You'd hear of it I'm pretty sure if people who actually paid their taxes routinely went to jail anyway because of some minor technicality. Shockingly I've never heard a single story about this happening in my entire life, yet there is a post on this forum scaring everyone into thinking they can goto jail or face some fine that is likely many times more than their income.


I called my tax guy anyway to see whether I should file this thing. I'll basically do whatever he says, but I just hate the general attitude of how all these terrible things are going to happen to you for some extremely minor infraction.
