    Let's say you have an affiliate member on your website who earned about $500 worth of commission for referring customers to your website.

    How does the tax work with amember affiliates? Are you required by law to file a 1099 to those that you pay? When I recieved an affiliate commission check from cj.com, they sent me a 1099 and report to the IRS how much money they paid me.

    Do I have to do the same for my affiliate marketers?


    Thanks much,

    i am not a tax professional by any means, but i think if someone makes more than $600 from a single source they are required to file it with the IRS and the person paying is required to 1099 the person getting paid
