I have just started doing affiliate marketing and I am under 18. In order to get my money from the affiliate networks I have to submit a w-9 form and pay taxes. Can I legally do this or do I have to have my parents claim it on their income and pay taxes on it? Would there be any way of getting around this? Also I would obviously want to claim business expenses like paying for clicks since I wouldn't want to pay taxes on on money I lost or money that wasn't profit. (eg I have a campaign that costs me $1,000 and I generate $2,000 I wouldn't want to pay taxes on $2,000 since I only made $1,000.) Just looking for some help, thanks a lot.
