Record Keeping
This year, I am making darned sure to keep records of each time I am paid for doing blogging work. Last year I didn’t and I just ended up having to sit here and go through my PayPal records for 2007 to get all the payment amounts and who paid me so I could have the information for my taxes. Only 2 of the companies I do work for paid me more than $600 so I figure only those 2 will probably send me any forms saying that I made money from them. But I did go through and retrieve all the PayPal records of my payments so that I know what I was paid and who paid it to me. 
However, this year, I’ve got Excel spreadsheets for each company. I create them as each company actually pays me. So far I have LinkWorth, PayU2Blog, Blogitive, and PayPerPost sheets made up. I’ll make up other sheets if and when I get some work from the other places. So far, I haven’t made a whole lot for 2008. I think I’ve made about $200 - $250. But there’s 11 more months in which to make some money so hey, who knows what I’ll get by the end of the year.

It may be on $200-$250 but I have to say you give me hope

That’s how I do it. I keep a spreadsheet of each job as I do it, then I update it with a date when I’m paid. That also helps me keep track of posts I need to remove because certain companies didn’t pay me. At the end of the month I download my paypal records and sort them by company. Those are the records I give to my tax lady.
PS- You can delete this part, but you’ve got a problem with your comment box flowing out of your layout. I can only see half of what I type for each line. I had the same thing going on with one of my blogs, and I had to change the size of my background.
