Yes, they have to pay.  Whether or not they do, now that's a different story.

No, it is not true. All citizens of the United States are obliged to pay taxes. However, the Amish do not collect Social Security, unemployment, or welfare benefits, and through an arrangement with the IRS do not pay Social Security Insurance. They still pay income, property, and sales tax.

Yes if they have a physical presence locally.  They are also required to pay taxes and be licensed in the cities and states they operate in.

There were stories on this several times on NPR. Yes, there are women who are prostitutes who pay taxes to the IRS and who list their occupation honestly. They said that it is much less hassle than having the IRS come after them if they are successful, and the IRS is one of the few federal organizations that does not share its information with anyone. That is what I heard on the radio.

Yes, and so do sports figures. So when a baseball player is playing out of state, he pays taxes in every state that he plays in (if the state has an income tax). See the article below

A hostess in a strip club does not make nearly as much as a stripper. That $20 tip is going to the half naked girl on stage, not the girl simply serving drinks. You can make the same amount working elsewhere. Have you tried waitressing at Hooters?

No you do not have to pay any tax to the IRS for that.  It is like you using a coupon to buy groceries, you don't pay the IRS the tax on the money you saved.

No.  When you 1099 they are responsible for paying their taxes out of the gross that you pay them.  It's the joy of being able to 1099 them.  They have to deal with the trouble of putting taxes aside to pay.

Income received from casino profits are taxable for federal tax.  As far as state tax it depends on the current deal made between the state government and your tribe.  some tribes are a state onto themselves.  since you dont say what tribe you are with go to ftb.ca.gov to find out.

NO! Dollar dances are tacky beyond words.\nA wedding guest should be able to attend a wedding reception without bringing a single dollar, not for the bar, not for a "wishing well", and certainly not to dance with the bride!\nA wedding reception is a celebration, not a charity benefit.\nThere is NO means of billing the guests that is at all socially correct.\nBesides which, a woman who accepts money to dance is usually found in a much racier environment and while I have nothing at all against strippers, I can't see why any sensible bride would want to emulate one at her reception.

You will have to pay income taxes but not sales tax (although that will depend on your state).  Good luck.

It think that if you make a certain amt of money doin it, then you need a license. There are millions of people making money on ebay and not claiming that on there taxes.

OK, guys.... The answer is that pornography is a business, licensed by the state and they pay taxes.... It follows the film industry guidelines making it legal..... \nProstitution is not permitted except in 16 counties in Nevada where it is a licensed business just like any other retail store.  I am not joking here.. \nIn Clark County Nevada, Las Vegas, prostitution is illegal therefore you can't get a business license and you don't pay taxes.  \nIt is economics people...... \nNow, the difference between porno and hookers.... Not much except as a general rule, the porn stars are a little better groomed and cared for.  They make the producer's very rich so they are treated much better than the hookers on the street.  \nPorn stars also get W-4 forms at the end of year to pay taxes on their earnings just like anyone else.  Hookers, no....

Yes, you need to pay tax on it.  Just because you did not receive money -- you had income in either an S corporation or an LLC.  The income in these 2 entities is passed down to the owners of the business and is taxed at that level.
