To claim or not to claim

[5 Little Monkeys]

Rachael, I fully agree with you that those who do not claim their income are selfish and ruining the business for the rest of us who are trying to run a legal business. HOWEVER, you are being very hostile towards the OP by believing your own assumptions of her. Unless I missed it, she didn't say she was doing this. Please don't attack others, it's so uncalled for. If you wanted to ask for clarification, by all means go ahead but don't assume things of others and than attack them for it! It only makes you look foolish.

I really enjoy this site and don't wish for it to become filled with negativity, personal attacks and assumptions. It really does no one any good. I look to dcbear for guidance, advice and I view many of you as virtual coworkers! Please don't ruin that

Kassiesmom...there really is no legal benefit to not claiming your income. Save yourself the stress and headaches you will endure thinking of the possibility of being caught and/or the actuality of being caught. Tax fraud is nothing to dismiss!! If caught, there are harsh consequences. Claim your income, inform your friend of the cons of doing it her way and feel good knowing you run a legal business!
