Internet Driven Home Based Business income is based on Commissions.

The full amounts of any commissions you receive are treated as income. This is true whether your commission is called a bonus or a percentage, and whether it is based on both your sales and the sales of other sellers working under you or on purchases from the company with which you are affiliated. You are taxed on gross income minus expenses.
