workamping, taxes, and social security
To those that workamp for a free rv site is there a dollar amount reported for tax purposes and to Social Security. Does one get a W2 at the end of the year? Is it considered taxable income?

It varies from one place to another. Most places living on site is a condition of employment and therefore not taxable. Other places have been audited by the IRS and found in violation of the rules so the sites are now treated as taxable income. Can't remember the name right now but I think there's a big outfit in AZ where all sites are taxable now.
Cal-Am went to issuing w-2's a few years ago for workampers which makes you an employee. Whether it's taxable or not would depend on your entire tax situation. I just plug all the numbers into TurboTax and let the software figure it out.
