Ugh, TAXES

I just filled out my W9. Does anyone know at what % this will be taxed? I'm trying to determine how screwed I'm going to be come tax time.
Thanks.

OhmConnect deduct nothing and it depends entirely on your other earnings, deductions etc etc. I'm guessing you wouldn't care to share that info!
On a 1099-MISC you'll have to pay self-employment taxes which are 15.3% of the total 1099-MISC amount on top of the increased overall taxable amount you are paying anyway.
I'm not sure that participating in OhmConnect necessarily qualifies as a "trade or business." As such, it might be possible to just treat it as "other income," in which case there would be no self-employment tax on it. If you do pay self-employment tax, you would be entitled to deduct any expenses related to the business. That might allow you to offset some of the exta taxes.
Yeah I think you are right. OhmConnect could change their rewards program at any time. I have no legal right to receive cash for my participation.
