๐Ÿ’ก plasma-pay-rates-2025.html" class="text-blue-600 hover:text-blue-800">CSL Plasma Tax SECRETS (IRS Doesn't Advertise These!)

๐ŸŽฏ Secret #1: The $600 Magic Number

SHOCKING: CSL only sends 1099s if you earn $600+ in a year. Under $600? No tax reporting required by CSL!

Note: You're still technically required to report all income, but many small amounts go unreported.

๐Ÿ’ธ Secret #2: Standard Deduction Shield

2025 Protection: Standard deduction is $13,850 (single) / $27,700 (married). If plasma + other income is below this, you owe $0 federal tax!

๐Ÿฅ Secret #3: Medical Expense Deductions

HIDDEN DEDUCTION: Travel to plasma centers, parking fees, and health supplements can be deductible medical expenses!

๐Ÿ“Š Secret #4: Self-Employment vs. Other Income

CLASSIFICATION TRICK: Plasma income is usually "other income" (not self-employment), so no 15.3% self-employment tax!

๐ŸŽ“ Secret #5: Student Advantage

STUDENT HACK: Students with low income can earn up to $6,500 in plasma income and still qualify for maximum financial aid!

๐Ÿงพ What CSL Sends You (Tax Documents)
