Government why
10 years ago
So recently during my computer illustration class, I created artwork of the word "dragons" where each letter is a dragon. My teacher enjoyed it so much he requested to put it into an artshow going on. I ecstatically say yes.
A week later he tells me that the school has selected my work for permanent display (meaning I sold artwork and I have something special to put on my resume.)
Got the email from the Art Coordinator today saying congratulations and that i have to fill out a w-9 form so that I can be taxed. The government is taxing me for selling artwork that I created and sold for $50.
What the fuck.

The government takes their share of every dime you make. I think the same is true for online transactions too >.>

OP
I know, it just severely bothers me that its on something that honestly shouldn't be taxed...
