Is My Blog a Business or a Hobby?

We are diving into another blog bookkeeping topic today!  In the blogging world there is a lot of talk about monetization.  Everyone likes making money.  Some people blog with the express interest of making a profit, while others view it as a happy bonus if they make some extra cash.  Does how you run your blog matter?  Well on a blog level no, it is up to you.  But come tax time yes.  It does matter.  Hobbies and businesses have different tax requirements.  So the question is then: Is my blog a business or a hobby?
