Hi,
I am an international student on F1 status. I own a website and I receive commissions for advertisements on my website.
I received 1099-MISC with income in Box 7 (nonemployee compensation). The income is small, only about 8 hundred dollars.
When I asked my school advisor how I should file tax, she told me that it is illegal for me to work and that my F1 status will be terminated if I am found out.
I have 2 questions
1) Will I really get into trouble, since I am not really working?
2) Do I need to file tax, since the amount I earned is less than what I spent to build my website?
thanks for all help
Dave
