VALVE is mailing out IRS Form 1099 in a couple of days for Tax Reporting purposes.

For those of you whom are non-US Citizens, a different form or 1099 "may" be mailed to you as well at VALVE's discretion, based on tax treaties of your specific country.

For those US Residents whom are brand new to Taxes, this must be filed in your tax return for this year. Oh and if you breach a certain threshold you should problably save some VALVE money to pay that tax.

hello guys thx for the invite!

I spent about an hour or two trying to figure that out. The mannconomy TF2 blog update boasted 2 million in profit for workshop artists. with about 93 individual items (Rough count)(excludes promotion items for specific games.) items counted as community made items during that year excluding october 13th update. so with basic math i was able to come up with a flat average of $21,000 per item. now with more factors added, such as seniority of an item and numerous others, it has been shown we can get upwards of $10,000 increments in one year alone. This is solely based on TF2 numbers, and based on Steam server stats, I believe that this is an acheivable number in one year of sales. But dont be expecting $20,000 lump sum checks anytime soon. I see that we can get 1-2k USD starting the sales and it will slump down until around 300-500$ per month afterwards unless valve sells it for free.
