I was just filing my taxes and was optimistic that my income may be eligible for the “no tax on tips” policy. When it got to that area, a disclaimer came up that stated: Please note if these tips came as a result of a felony, misdemeanor, act of prostitution or participation in pornography, you are not eligible.
My first thought: well that sucks.
My second thought: that’s not exactly fair.
First of all, what constitutes as porn? I know a few content creators that are on onlyfans and have much different content than pornography. (Cooking videos and fitness) I also have a friend named Jeff who runs a very popular cam show that is more like a podcast. I’ve literally never seen nudity on his show and he always has over a thousand users and tips coming in like crazy. Are they going to come look at everyone’s content to determine what is porn and what is not? I have items on my tip menu that aren’t porn. Like 10 if you like my hair or 25 to make me smile, etc etc. Those tips aren’t porn. So why shouldn’t they count?
I’m assuming they’ll flag the EINs for porn sites and just punish us all, or either IRS agents will be sorting through loads of content becoming the porn police. Seems like there’s alot of wiggle room for the “no tax on tips” policy. I feel like you could easily not offer anything pornographic in a public show, and instead do it in private with disabled spying to be able to count your income towards the new policy.
It’s so funny to me that powerful politicians who would fuck a literal child and crash Grindr when there’s a convention care so much about what we do online to the extent of making us an exclusion and grouping us with criminals and prostitutes.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
