In Reply to: Other Income on a TN posted by Paul on August 30, 2004 at 16:24:01:

Hi there. I am in the US on a TN. I also have a hobby website (devoted to vintage cars). I don't sell the cars, nor try to make a profit, it is purely informational. However, I have the option to run a few ads on the site (Google Ads) that could help offset the hosting costs. Google requires your SSN to report any income they pay you... is this possible on a TN? I don't want to jeopardize my TN, but am not sure if this would be counted as a second job, as I am effectively doing it for a hobby, and am 'self-employed' in that I own the website. Not sure as I know capital gains are OK for TN people, but not if secondary income is the same. Thanks.
If you're concerned about TN status, couldn't you tell them you are a foreign citizen, and have them take a withholding tax, like Vegas casinos?
