Today, I’m going to go over my top tax write-offs for Youtubers, influencers, and other content creators. Now, these types of self-employment opportunities are very unique in the fact that the person is usually the business. Tax Planning & Tax Preparation Services: https://bit.ly/3iC6FCI And because of that, there is a lot of flexibility in terms of the tax write-offs you qualify for… For example, some YouTubers do clothing hauls on their channel, so they can deduct the expense on their tax return. So that’s like getting clothes, depending on your income level, at 40-50% off. BUT with that flexibility, comes some gray areas as well and you never want to risk getting in trouble with the IRS. So in this video, I want to talk about taxes for any current or future content creators.
