Creator-Focused Services
Your income isn't standard 9-to-5. Your tax strategy shouldn't be either.
Subscription Platform Optimization
Specialized reconciliation for high-volume payouts from OnlyFans, Fansly, and Patreon. We handle 1099-K forms and platform-specific fee deductions.
Privacy & Discreet Entity Setup
We explain the tax implications of common entity structures and coordinate with your attorney or formation provider when needed.
Brand Deal & Sponsorship 1099s
Received a dozen 1099-NECs from different agencies? We consolidate your revenue streams to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Multi-State Income & Nexus
Traveling to Miami, Atlanta, or LA for brand deals? We navigate complex multi-state filing and "nexus" rules to ensure you only pay state tax where legally required.
Self-Employment Tax Planning
At higher net income, an S-Corp election may reduce self-employment tax — but it requires a reasonable salary and adds payroll and filing costs. We explain the tradeoffs and run the numbers for your situation.
Equipment & Studio Expenses
Cameras, lighting, gaming PCs, and Adobe subscriptions aren't just toys—they're your tools. We report depreciation and expensing on your gear where the rules allow.
AdSense & Platform Payouts
We reconcile your dashboard revenue with your bank deposits for YouTube AdSense, Twitch bits, and TikTok Creator Fund payouts.
Merch & Product Line Taxes
Launching a merch drop? We handle the Schedule C complexity for your inventory, cost of goods sold (COGS), and sales tax nexus issues.
From "Hobby" to "Enterprise"
The IRS can reclassify creative work as a "hobby" and disallow deductions if your activity doesn't look like a business. We help you build the records that support a legitimate business, from profit intent to books and logs.
- Profit Intent Documentation
- Separate Business Banking Setup
- Formal Entity (LLC/S-Corp) Analysis

Creator FAQ
Common questions from the digital frontier.
How are OnlyFans or Fansly payouts taxed?
Income from subscription platforms is treated as self-employment income on Schedule C. Because these platforms often withhold a percentage as a fee, we reconcile your gross earnings vs. your net payout to ensure you aren't overpaying tax on money the platform already took.
Can I deduct my clothing and makeup?
It depends. The IRS rule is strict: clothing must be "specific to the job" and "not suitable for everyday wear." Costumes for a skit? Yes. A designer hoodie for an Instagram photo? Likely no. We help you draw the safe line.
I received "free" products. Is that income?
Technically, yes. If a brand sends you a $1,000 camera in exchange for a review, the IRS considers the fair market value of that camera as taxable barter income. We help you account for this so you don't get blindsided.
Do I need to form an LLC for my channel?
An LLC offers liability protection but doesn't automatically save taxes. Taxing that LLC as an S-Corp can reduce self-employment tax at higher profit levels, but it requires paying yourself a reasonable salary and adds payroll and filing costs. We run the numbers to see whether it makes sense for you.
How do I handle taxes for my editor and mods?
If you pay an editor, artist, or moderator above the 1099-NEC reporting threshold during the year ($600 for payments made through 2025; $2,000 for payments made in 2026), you generally must file a 1099-NEC for them. We handle this filing process for you so your team stays compliant.
