Do you get a 1099 from OF ? Because $8k on a 1099 means you better have a ton of business expenses to offset that income.. Uncle Sam will take a big bite, as will state and local taxes. 

And, if you have a bunch of tech equipment to write off, guess what, many localities will see you file a schedule D on your 1040, and ask why you don't have a business license. After they ask about the license, they will want to to know about business property (ie the stuff you write off on the fed taxes) because that's also taxed.

(Do a little consulting work for a friend, get a 1099 and boyhowdy, find out all sorts of things you didn't know and are a huge pain in the ass.. )

Would be very easy to probably not only write off 8k but possibly provide negative income to receive a bigger refund. You can write off a majority of utilities, home base office, new pcs, laptops, webcams, phones, outfits, makeup, etc. I could easily probably find 10k in general expenses that they would be safe writing off as a business expense.
