Taxes are not deducted from your survey earnings ahead of time. If at the end of the year, a survey panel has paid you $600 or more, they will send you an IRS Form 1099 which you should file as “miscellaneous income” on your tax return. So make sure when you get paid to save a bit of the money for the tax man at the end of the year.

Online surveys are designed to give companies specific and detailed information about the consumers who are buying their products. As such, they need to know certain characteristics of their target audiences, as well as people who could be potential customers. If their target demographic is senior citizens, a person who is only 40 years old might want to use the product, too. The company can then expand their demographic, thereby increasing their profits. This also helps companies and surveys direct certain surveys to certain demographics so they can get the most accurate information possible. The reputable online survey companies will not sell your information, though, so you can feel safe when you build an online profile for their site.
