Can You Write Off Donations to Streamers?
Short answer: No: tips and donations to Twitch or YouTube creators are gifts to individuals, not charities.
Charity streams that send money to a registered charity are deductible.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
