I've mentioned it before, but I'm just waiting for Chris to get in trouble with the SSA for not reporting his non-SSDI income and going over his monthly income limit or with the IRS for not filing his taxes. The SSA does monitor bank accounts of recipients. It seems like it's only a matter of time.
He should be reporting his non-SSDI income, but since there's not really a chance of him getting even 30% into a scenario where he'd lose his tugboat (according to SSDI rules), I don't think they'll hassle him too much about not reporting.
Last I checked he's making over $750 from Patreon plus what he's selling on Ebay and selling comics and now profiting from this other comic. Monthly income limit for SSDI is $1180 before the SSA starts deducting monthly payments. Just from Patreon he's making over 60% of his monthly limit.
No, there's also the dimension of time. When you exceed the dollar limit, you go on a trial work period and don't lose any benefits for nine months. It is supposed to encourage people to try to get back to work.
Does Patreon send earnings to the IRS? I know ebay does if it's over a certain amount
Not sure. I know some sites like that just issue you the proper paperwork and warn you it's your responsibility to file your taxes properly.
"Did you pay your taxes?"
My assumption is that sites like Patreon and Kickstarter treat the people who use them as independent contractors and as a result it's the person who earns the money's responsibility to deal with taxes on their own. I'm aware stuff like Amazon's MTurk works like this.
you should probably post all the Memory cards so we can catalog them all. then at least something interesting may come of the card sales
It was a conspiracy designed to stop Chris from finding true love. Certainly, the Tomgirl facade is now preventing all those conspiracies from happening!
As if Chris can even conceptualize one perfectly.
