You don't get a cash paymwnt though for doing reviews. You basically get sent a product, you write a review, and then you keep the product. The 1099 is just for what they claim the value of the items is. No money ever exchanges hands though. I do testing for best buy and have gotten about $12,000 worth of free stuff this year in exchange for my reviews. I plan to claim it as hobby income. Should I be worried?
