URGENT! Last-minute inquiry.

Applying to College

<p>Sorry about the title, but this is quite urgent and definitely last-minute for my early applications.</p>

<p>For work experience, I have done quite a bit with computers. I do some general work for two small local businesses, and run my own computer outfit, which is quite popular among students. My yearly revenue is conservatively $20,000, though I only make a fraction of this in profits, and I was planning to put this under my activities...but....</p>

<p>I ran this as a hobby rather than a business. It was strictly word-of-mouth, and I always considered it as tying to one of my passions rather than a monetary deal. As such, I've never done much legal work with this, and never paid tax on it. I thought I earned too little ($5000 a year) to need to pay tax anyways, and moreover, I started it when I was 13...so...</p>

<p>Would it be detrimental to list my yearly revenue to illustrate its success? Or would it be helpful?</p>

<p>you can list it as a work experience thing,but i dont think its necessary to mention the revenue,you can say it was successful without mentioning how much you made…</p>

<p>If you’re not paying taxes, I wouldn’t advertise how much money you’re raking in.</p>

<p>Well, most of the things I buy in the process do get a sales tax, but I do understand how someone could consider it evasive. But I’m no tax attorney…
It’s getting left out.</p>
