How to Track Creator Income for Taxes - Common Questions
How do I track income for taxes as a self-employed creator?
Use a creator earnings tracker like EarnLode to record:
- Gross income from YouTube, Twitch, Patreon, etc.
- Platform fees (AdSense cut, Patreon processing fees)
- Net income (what hits your bank account)
This organized data makes IRS Schedule C filing much easier.
What's the difference between gross vs net income for creators?
- Gross income: Total earnings before any deductions (IRS Schedule C Line 1)
- Platform fees: What YouTube/Twitch/Patreon keeps (Schedule C Line 11)
- Net income: Gross minus fees (what you actually receive)
Example: $1,000 YouTube AdSense payment
- • Gross: $1,000
- • Fee: $450 (45% YouTube cut)
- • Net: $550 (your bank deposit)
