Depends on your total income for the year. At least a little over 14%, for self employment tax. Could be a lot more than that if you have other income for the year.

The Self Employment tax is 15.3% in the United States. Also, you may have to pay income tax on the earnings if you have additional income, however your expenses should be enough to offset your income on $1700, and to find that out you'll have to file a Schedule C. If you have no profit after the Schedule C is complete, there is no tax liability

How to find out if an international charity organization is legit

How to find out if an international charity organization is legit?
There is a company/organization that call themselves a non-profit charity organization. they claim to collect donations for poor children in europe. they offered me a freelance representative job in which they would transfer money to my bank account and i would have to western union it to another person. i would get to keep 10 % of the amount transferred. i am sceptical about this procedure, i dont want to do anything illegal. they say, they need people to do this because they want to avoid paying a "charity transfer tax" i never heard of. the address of contact is in poland. what do you think?

SCAM. There are hundreds of these scams on the internet. They have been investigated and reported on TV. They just want to get your bank details to commit fraud or encourage you to contact them by telephone using premium rate phone numbers. You have everything to loose and nothing at all to gain. Any legitimate charity/non profit club or society would not be liable to taxation for transfering funds

I think elance.com has a good reputation but you might need to take a few small paying jobs just to get feedback at first. I'm sure if you search for graphic design jobs you will find them, some website have jobs listed on their websites. Other ways are browsing boards like yahoo answers and forums where people might need graphic design work done, you could pick up work by sending a message to see if they're interested
