    "There are too many people filling in the survey at present. Participation is therefore not possible at the moment. Please try again later." There is an 11 minute timer...

    Honestly I returned it. Progress bar didn't seemed to be moving as fast as I'd liked.

    RE taxchat:

    Here's an absurd example to show why quarterly filing probably isn't a huge issue.

    So, suppose you made 100% of your income from Mturk and your Patreon for your live nude juggling stream, and you make $91,900 for the year, without filing quarterlies, and also somehow you have no deductions.

    Your tax bill works out to $19,462.30, $748.55 (3.8%) of which is your tax penalty for not filing quarterlies.

    If you decided to live on the median income (and you should be able to swing it, your only real expenses are your internet connection and a steady stream of hand sanitizer for your juggling balls) and put the remaining $60,587 in a regular old monthly compounded 1.5% interest savings account you'd end up paying out $144.60 (or 0.15 % of your annual income) more than if you'd spent four days a year figuring out your estimated quarterly, plus the adjustment to your end of year tax return for over or under payment.

    You've managed to claw your way into the top by watching vaginal cuff closures and bouncing bean bags off your genitals. Throwing 40 cents a day into the wishing well seems like a pretty small price to pay for the peace of mind you get for not stressing about filing your quarterlies.

    Ok, need to make $120 in the next two days. Surgery is Thursday and I don't see much happening that day.
