Where is the best place to live in the Albany, NY area? I've heard that Latham and Clifton Park are pretty nice, but Schenectady and Troy should be avoided.
When it comes to filing your taxes, Notaries must report Notary fees as ordinary income. What your instructor was likely referring to is the fact that Notary fees are not subject to Self-Employment Tax usually declared on IRS Form SE. You can find more information on this topic in Chapter 12 of theIRS Publication 17 (listed as âNotary Publicâ beneath the âOther Incomeâ category.)
Generally, an amount included in your income is taxable unless it is specifically exempted by law. Income that is taxable must be reported on your return and is subject to tax. Income that is nontaxable may have to be shown on your tax return but is not taxable. A list is available in Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income. Constructively-received income. You are generally taxed on income that is available to you, regardless of whether it is actually in your possession.
