Given how much some of these streamers seem to get in donations and subscriptions I would love to see what they declare to the taxman.
I don't know how it works in the USA but here in the UK they'd probably offset their expenses in streaming very handily to reduce their tax bills.

Edited by Kibeth: 11/9/2015 6:39:56 PMIn the US, you need to register as a personal business and report all "donations" (Which are technically tips) as income. Since you're not a tax exempt corporation. I'm not sure on how heavily taxed it is, but I have followed the discussion off and on for a while between a number of large streamers. A lot of streamers from LoL Gothalion, Broman etc from Destiny. And a few from the speed running community. Really I just don't want to see anyone get screwed because they didn't realize they needed to report the income.
