Do I have to be over 18 in order to receive payment?

[Michael]

Hi
I join some pay-per-click program and I wonder, when I earn enough revenue, can I be paid if I am not yet 18?
I think these programs require me to fill out an IRS form, because I need to pay taxes too for the revenue I earned, but I don't have any bank account now, and I am not yet 18 (I become 18 in one month), so can anyone please help me clear up these questions?
thanks

If it doesn't say in the agreement for their pay-per-click program, you'll need to contact the company to find out. I don't know the laws, but I would think from a legal standpoint, that you should be able to receive checks, even if your under 18. The contract between you and the company for the pay-per-click program is another story.

Yes, they should say in their ToS your age limit. For instance, adsense you must have the check made out to somebody who is 18 or older.
