Survey and Paid Study Tax Calculators

Pick your platform to open its survey tax calculator and see how much tax you’ll owe on your rewards and how much to set aside. I’ve been paid by all six: Prolific, CloudResearch Connect, UserCrowd, Crowdtap, Qmee and Amazon Shopper Panel.

None of them take tax out, and most never send a 1099, but the IRS still expects you to report all of it. How it’s taxed depends on the platform:

  • Paid studies (Prolific, CloudResearch Connect and UserCrowd) are contractor work. It’s self-employment income, so once your profit passes about $433 in a year, you also owe 15.3% self-employment tax.
  • Survey and rewards apps (Crowdtap, Qmee and Amazon Shopper Panel) are other income on Schedule 1. There’s no self-employment tax, and gift cards count at face value.

Each calculator is built for its platform, from Prolific’s pounds to Crowdtap’s gift cards.
