Field Agent's Agent Score help page says your score is 42 plus your approved paid submissions over the last 6 months.

How to earn more on Field Agent

Field Agent's Basics for Success page is about getting submissions approved: read the job instructions before going into the store, go to the address given in the job rather than a GPS pinpoint, capture an image for every photo request and answer every question honestly. It also notes that the reservation clock starts when you reserve a job, not when you begin it.

Can Field Agent deactivate your account?

Field Agent's Participation Agreement, last updated Dec 17, 2021, says Field Agent may terminate the agreement or suspend platform access immediately, without notice, for any reason, at its sole discretion.

Scams that use the Field Agent name

Taxes on Field Agent income

Field Agent's tax page says it files a 1099-MISC only for agents who earn at least $2,000 in a calendar year, and it asks for a W-9 before you reach that mark so the form is processed before jobs pause. It also says it stores only job names and payment amounts, so keep your own record of job locations and distances traveled.

The IRS says gig income must be reported on a tax return even if no information return, such as a 1099-K or 1099-NEC, is issued. It also says self-employed people, including independent contractors, usually owe self-employment tax on net earnings of $400 or more. See taxes on side income for how the rules work.
