I have stopped doing shops for this MSC few months back..they want very detailed reports and hardly pay anything..
They don't pay for restaurant shops.
Not true. I am not even talking about a bonus, some have a fee.
Regular fees are $5-$15 on dining for some clients.@Niner wrote:

I have never seen one, it's good to know that they exist somewhere though!

If I was the client paying for the service I would want details.

I am getting a $100 meal. This would take me earning about $158 at work to pay for this. I would rather write a report and have the meal for free, and put the $100 into an investment account. Now, I would spend $25-30 for dinner, not $100, but I am still saving money. If they paid me $10, that would not affect my life that much. So, this trade seems logical in my life. I pay about 35% in federal and who knows what in NY state tax. I am not crazy, and I write a quality report.

Why would I claim this as income? It's a reimbursed expense.

You really like arguing about this. Find someone else. I am not interested. Sorry you are broke. Let it go. Get an hourly job.

If you are not claiming the $100 dollar meal as income and ACL is claiming the $100 dollars they reimburse you for the meal as an expense.............then the IRS is getting taken to the cleaners. The IRS is the government which is us you do know I hope! Its a tax fraud scheme almost guaranteed.

This quote of yours puts it all into perspective!!!!
Concrapulations you are the first genius that jumped on that!. Now back to the story at hand. I will double down on the FACT that many/most of these mystery shopping companies would be in serious trouble if the IRS ever started looking at them real hard. About the only mystery shopping company that is even halfway legit is Marketforce. Marketforce is about the only mystery shopping company that 1099's you for the fees you collect and not for any of the reimbursement.

Is Marketforce the only company you work for? I get 1099's from many companies that only state the fees as income. (That is the purpose of the 1099.)
