This CLE/CPE webinar will provide tax professionals a detailed analysis of tax challenges and planning techniques for content creators, social media influencers, and online entrepreneurs. The panel will discuss complex tax planning challenges for online entrepreneurs, planning tips for certain assets, income tax issues, structuring tax efficient entities, sourcing of income, and tactics for handling IRS audits.

Description

Content creators and online entrepreneurs are subject to a variety of federal and state tax rules which can lead to adverse tax implications. However, these taxpayers can lower their tax burden by understanding applicable tax laws and implementing effective tax planning strategies. Tax professionals must recognize the compliance and reporting challenges and navigate complex federal and state tax rules applicable to content creators and online entrepreneurs.

Online entrepreneurs, influencers, and content creators who earn income or business profits through online platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitch must be aware of the tax rules associated with their earnings and the necessary steps to ensure they comply with all relevant tax rules.

In addition to the challenges associated with hobby vs. business income, sourcing rules, and self-employment tax regulations, these taxpayers must also consider their potential tax obligations in the countries where they have followers and earn income. Tax professionals must understand these rules in order to avoid federal and state tax penalties or fines.

Listen as our panel discusses complex tax planning challenges for content creators and online entrepreneurs, planning tips for certain assets, income tax issues, structuring tax efficient entities, sourcing of income, and tactics for handling IRS audits.
