Creator Economy

Empower your content creator journey

Navigate the world of taxes, bookkeeping, and US business formation for content creators. We supports your financial foundation so you can focus on creating content.

Navigating taxes for your creator income

Any money you earn as a content creator, including tips, is subject to the same taxes as a regular job. This is because itโ€™s considered self-employment income, meaning itโ€™s money you earn from working that isnโ€™t a wage. As a result, youโ€™ll need to pay income and self-employment taxes on it.

Maximize your tax deductions

Keep more of what you earn while staying compliant.

๐Ÿ‘ Expenses you can write off

As a content creator, you can write off certain expenses on your taxes to lower your taxable income. These expenses must be โ€œordinaryโ€ and โ€œnecessaryโ€ for your business.

These include:

๐Ÿ“ฑ Cell phone bill ๐Ÿ’ป Computer or laptop ๐Ÿ“ธ Camera & equipment ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป Editing software ๐Ÿช‘ Home office deduction ๐Ÿฅ Content accessories ๐ŸŒŽ Internet or Wi-Fi ๐Ÿจ Hotels or Airbnbโ€™s ๐Ÿš— Mileage ๐Ÿ’„ Stage Make-up and beauty supplies ๐Ÿ’ต Commissions ๐Ÿงพ Contractor payments ๐Ÿ’ฒ Platform fees

๐Ÿ‘Ž Expenses you canโ€™t deduct
