<prompt> Human: I have a quick question about this form.I need to fill it out because I sell designs on redbubble.com and that considered self-employment. So Im a bit hung up on Line F. It asks for an accounting method with the options cash, accrual, or other.So the way I get paid with Redbubble is when I sell a design, I get a portion of the selling price. On the third of every month, if Ive made over 20 in that month, my total profit gets deposited into my Paypal account, but ONLY if I make that 20 threshold.So Im not sure which accounting method I choose. Ive looked up examples and Im still not sure. If anyone could help, thatd be awesome.  <response>: I think most self-employed would use cash accounting method. You record income when you actually receive it. What this means is that when tallying up your revenue in the beginning of Schedule C, you would count money you got Jan 1-Dec 31 of the tax year. Dont record a design you made in late December if you didnt get payment until January.I can see how you might have a way of saying that you really did receive a payment if Redbubble has it sitting somewhere but only pushes it to Paypal if it exceeds 20. Im guessing they let it sit there until the following month and then push it to you if youre over 20 combined by then?It may therefore be up to you how you treat this, but I think Id just use its appearance in Paypal as a marker for when you received it. Maybe others have other ideas.Once you choose a method of accounting you are supposed to stick with it. The idea is to not ever by mistake double-count anything. You wouldnt want to be taxed twice.
