I am working in the USA on a TN. I am certified to teach seminars. Some (not all) of these seminars extend honorariums to the instructors. Teaching these seminars are not part of my TN job description. As far as I know these honorariums are not taxable, but are like receiving a gift. However, I would like to see if someone else has a similar experience or knowledge that would help me make the correct decision.
Am I allowed to accept an honorarium while working on a TN?
Can a TN worker accept honorariums?

Doing any 'work' not specifically outlines in your TN, or for someone other than your sponsor(s), including yourself is risky.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
