PayPal Mandatory IRS Reporting in 2011

paypal logoHere is some news everyone is going to want to pay attention too. The IRS has in effect a rule that mandates everyone report 100% of earned paypal income as of 2011.

How are they going to properly in-force this? Easy..they are forcing banks to issue 1099-K’s to anyone receiving payment from PayPal or Ebay (same company owns both). Bummer right? The bank will summarize all payments and send the summary to you at the end of the year. This means that the IRS gets a copy too. 🙂

OK..so this raises 2 questions in my mind

  1. Are people going to switch payment processors in an attempt to avoid paying taxes. (I bet many are)
  2. Are people going to open bank accounts in other countries to avoid paying taxes. (Im guessing the IRS has no authority over non US banks)

While tax evasion is illegal, it is more common than you think. We suggest you form an LLC or S-Corporation of some sort. I would definitely go talk to an accountant if you make any substantial amount of money online.

UPDATES you must meet the following criteria, if you don’t don’t worry about this it will no effect you. (here r details at paypal)

  • Receive more than $20,000 in gross payment volume in a single year, AND
  • Receive 200 or more payments in a single year.

Here is a draft of the 2011 IRS 1099-K

Laptop Battery Life

The average life of a Laptop battery is around 2-4 years. This all depends on a multitude of factors, most actively are the number of cells in the batters. A 6 cell battery will inevitably last a shorter amount of time than a 9 cell. That’s just the way it works.

Here is something to ponder just a second. They will warranty a Hard Drive for 5 years, a Mother Board for 5 Years, but not one will Warranty a battery past 2 years. What does that tell you about our technology?

I’ve heard all sorts of things when it comes to laptop batteries. I’ve heard they have battery member, I heard you should let them fully charge, and fully drain before plugging them back up to charge.

It seems to be however that no matter what I do (just short of sticking them in my closet for a few years)  they don’t seem to last very long.

You can recharge an average lithium ion battery 500-1000 times before the battery becomes ineffective. You figure that’s about 1x a day for 2 years or so. That’s all.

Of course you can implement Power Saver mode and let your laptop standby after so many minutes of misuse. This may give you a longer battery life because there is less need to charge the battery.

The point of the matter is that your laptop battery is going to ware out before your laptop does. With average laptop battery cost being around $130, and average Laptop prices being somewhere between $400-$800 you can see that it’s a large percentage of the laptop’s cost. So after 2 years when your laptop battery goes out, and you need to spend $130 for a new one. You start thinking really hard…do I want to spend $100+ for a laptop battery? or $400 for a new laptop? Most people end up buying a new laptop. A great marketing scheme if i do say so myself.

Note: Your laptop will function as a desktop permanently, even with the battery removed, so long as it’s plugged in. Just food for thought.
