    Official CLER thread *Please post New ones in here*
    Ok, well, ever since CLER has gotten more active, based on suggestions and approval from administration, I have decided to start this.

    Here is where you signup for it: http://www.hbs.edu/cler/

    click here to sticky it to top of the page!

    I will post few things i noticed in the last year with CLER, if you have something to add, use wiki and if it's worthwhile i'll add to OP.

    1. You MUST provide SSN or other means for them to track $. Don't like it, fine, but it won't change.

    2. Most of their studies have different requirements and limited slots, so do not wait, as soon as you see new study posted, signup and let others know.

    3. Payments are usually done in Amazon GC or Money order(sometimes a choice).

    4. I recieved last payment within 10 days of completing the study, in past, on average it was 3-4 weeks, so give it time.

    5. Their studies are full of tricky things, if you took the last study you would know what i mean, so always do them HONESTLY or you will be removed.

    6. As usual, unless specifially told, always assume that survey contents/topics are confidentical. Do not talk about the details, as it will influence others!

    You have to provide a SSN so they can report the $ they give you as part of your income to the IRS. You will pay taxes on the things you get from them....

    PM me if you want either of these coupons:
    $10 off $30 at Bath and Body Works
    $10 off $50 at Victoria Secrets

    Suggestion: Garage sale your stockpiles super cheap (everyone in your area will benefit), then donate 1/2 the proceeds to charity. You get 1/2 to buy what you need, and charities sure could use the $ right now.

    You and they are only required to report this income if you earn more than $600 a year. Chances are, you wont be earning that much. They are just covering their bases in the rare case that someone actually does and the IRS calls them on it.

    You may be required to file information returns to report certain types of payments made to independent contractors during the year. For example, you must file Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, to report payments of $600 or more to persons not treated as employees (e.g. independent contractors) for services performed for your trade or business. For details about filing Form 1099 and for information about required electronic or magnetic media filing, refer to information returns.

    You have to pay taxes from any source that pays you over 600.... I just make sure I never hit that magical number with any of the companies I work with

    Nope. They are only required to report to the IRS if they pay you 600.00 or more. YOU are required to report ANY income you get from them. Just because they aren't responsible to reporting it doesn't mean that you're not required to do so.

    Of course most people won't report it....but that doesn't mean it's legal.

    600.00 just means there's a paper trail formed and sent to the IRS which means you can't avoid reporting it. Legally you have to report ANY and ALL income you earn. Just because no one tells on you doesn't mean you're off the hook on reporting it.

    If you ever get audited and they look at your bank account statements....better hope you didn't deposit those checks or you'll have to explain why you didn't report that income.
