If it is a volunteering stint and they are paying to cover the cost, it shouldn't be a problem.thatguyoverthere wrote:I just held a non-profit event about a month ago and incurred some cost to run it. The venue offered to help me cover the costs for items like the posters and flyers I printed, and they want to make the payment by transferring money to my personal bank account. The amount is around $500. I'm on an EP, would this be considered as receiving money for freelancing and will I get in trouble for this? I asked if they can pay me back in cash and they said only a transfer is possible from their company bank account. This is a one time thing, I can't see this as ever happening again, but is this a bad idea? I don't have many other options for receiving the money, and I doubt this guy will have the patience to do an overseas wire. Any thoughts?
