She's not alone. After dutifully reporting even the smallest profits on their tax filings this year, a number ? though no one knows exactly what that number is ? of Philadelphia bloggers were dispatched letters informing them that they owe $300 for a privilege license, plus taxes on any profits they made.

Firstly, the tax has NOTHING to do with blogs specifically. There is NO blogging tax in Philly.
With that said, the city believes she is running a business based on
her voluntarily reporting her profits from that venture. If she had
not reported that
minuscule income, she would
not have received that letter.
Many people try to follow the rules exactly, not realizing that often can work against them, as in this instance.
