😱 SHOCKING: Most plasma income might be TAX-FREE!
⚡ Calculate if YOUR CSL earnings are taxable below!
Most CSL donors making under $12,950 (single) or $25,900 (married) pay ZERO federal tax on plasma income!
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.
2025 Protection: Standard deduction is $13,850 (single) / $27,700 (married). If plasma + other income is below this, you owe $0 federal tax!
HIDDEN DEDUCTION: Travel to plasma centers, parking fees, and health supplements can be deductible medical expenses!
CLASSIFICATION TRICK: Plasma income is usually "other income" (not self-employment), so no 15.3% self-employment tax!
STUDENT HACK: Students with low income can earn up to $6,500 in plasma income and still qualify for maximum financial aid!
CSL sends this if you earned $600+ in a calendar year. Shows total payments in Box 3 (Other Income).
