    1:29 Can You Deduct Purchase for UA-cam From Your Taxes?

    2:59 What I Can You Deduct From Your UA-cam Taxes?
    3:34 How Much Money Do You Need to Set Aside for UA-cam Taxes?
    4:28 Should You Pay UA-cam Taxes Quarterly or Yearly?
    5:08 Do You Need to Set Aside Money Besides UA-cam Taxes?
    6:10 Do I Need to Incorporate as a Business?
    6:40 How Should You Separate Business from Personal Finances?
    Many UA-cam Creators don't know if they need to pay taxes on UA-cam Ad Revenue. The short answer is YES. You do need to pay UA-cam Taxes and you have to pay taxes on UA-cam income from Brand Deals and on Affiliate Marketing Income.
    UA-cam Income Taxes represent self-employed income, your UA-cam Taxes are not taken out for you by UA-cam since you are not a UA-cam Employee. UA-cam Adsense earnings are reported on a 1099 form you receive for your UA-cam monetization earnings and you will be filing a 1044 Tax for or a Schedule C.

    @SherifaNakalema 3 роки тому +42

    Such great tips! You sounded like a CPA Roberto. For anyone overwhelmed by this, the important points are to keep all income and expenses related to UA-cam in a separate bank account, using separate debit or credit cards dedicated to UA-cam Expenses and keep all receipts. If you do that any book keeper will sort it out for you. Just hand over the monthly statements plus all receipts. Keep those receipts for a minimum of 3 years, sometimes longer!

    You can be an LLC and register as an S-Corp with the IRS. You can also pay in to the IRS as you earn. There is an IRS app so that you can pop into the app on the day you get your UA-cam "check" to make a payment. For some people, this is a great tool. Get it paid right away to avoid mishaps. :)
