Do I Have to Pay Taxes on My Earnings From Google Adsense?
Google Adsense is obligated to obtain tax information from those who participate in the program. If you're a business, you'll have to put your EIN number on your application. If you're an individual, you'll just need your social security number. If you don't have that information handy when you initially sign up, you may still apply for the Google Adsense program. But, be aware that Google Adsense will withhold payments to you until they get your tax information.
While Google does not withhold taxes or offer any tax advice, they will send you a 1099 form once your earnings reach a specific amount. Of course, if you are a non-US business and have no activity in the United States, you will not be required to provide this information.
