I registered on Elance, completed several orders, linked my account to PayPal, and withdraw money. How to display them so as not to be under the gun of the tax service? Ready to pay taxes, read articles on the topic, they write everywhere - draw up contracts, show them to the bank, pay 13%. The question is different: if I do minor work, constantly with new customers, and receive transfers with PayPal, how can I arrange this? Is it really possible to send each customer a contract with a signature and ask to sign and send it back? And if I corrected the site for him in a few hours and received $100? Yes, he will have more hemorrhoids with my contract. Yes, and it will scare away many, I think.
In short, I want to get my little money, work quietly, but I'm afraid that they will come and ask where the money comes from. How can I protect myself without forcing customers to sign papers for every little thing? Or is it easier to open an individual entrepreneur, hire an accountant and let him solve these issues? But you can still look for an accountant with knowledge of English, and all this costs money, and responsibility, in the end.

Get a Payoneer card, it is tied to an account in an American bank, the tax will not have any questions for you.
Maintenance $29 a year, attaches to upwork very easily. Comes by mail in 2 weeks, free of charge. For maintenance, they begin to write off after the money appears on it.
My referral link - if you want to get $25 for free (will pay off most of the first annual service)

there are a lot of articles on habré on how to legalize income from odesk, taking into account the fact that elance is closing and transferring everything to odesk, this solution is suitable for you.

It seems that when doing business, you should register as an individual entrepreneur. The rest - Sole Proprietors discussed , how do you work with oDesk (upwork)?
