Can You Write Off Patreon Support?
Short answer: No: Patreon pledges are payments to individual creators, not charitable gifts.
A creator's business may deduct Patreon fees as a cost of doing business.
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.
