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.

    In 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.
