Taxable income
Can You Write Off Twitch Donations and Bits?
Short answer: No deduction: donations, bits, and subs are taxable self-employment income, reported even without a 1099.
Creators deduct costs used to make content on Schedule C; anything that's also used personally is deductible only for the business share.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
