also for example when you are doing what im doing (occasional edits and shit making maybe 500-1000 a year) you also run into the issue of whether what you doing is a 'hobby' or a 'business' and theres different tax rules and deductions you can claim and whether you even need to report any income at all.. so can get tricky and might not even be worth the trouble

Patreon, Paypal and banks are iffy on being associated with NSFW work. Porn stars have gotten accounts closed in the past so as far as I am aware they have total discretion to cancel your account for whatever reason so best option is to be as inconspicuous as possible

You have probably heard about that whole thing a couple years ago where people were reporting girls on twitter to the IRS for their onlyfans. At a certain point where you start to make so much money at NSFW you have to start paying taxes on it because it changes from a 'hobby' to a 'business'. So if you want to go to a CPA and be like "Hey here is my degenerate furry fetish site I made 3k on this year I need to report this" lol you probably want to filter it through a generic sounding business on Paypal that wont draw attention.

For my paypal I put "Editing and Design" and linked it to my personal bank account. I only made about $500 last year so I didnt need to report it and flew under the radar. But now I have made about $2k and making $100 a month on patreon so Im thinking I can file it as MISC income but will see sooner or later.

If you do all cash transactions you dont have to worry about any of this at all.

and to be a little more clear think of it like this:

>Chase sees $500 monthly deposits and investigates you are getting mad cash from Patreon porn.
>Chase may not care and move on or because they do not want to be associated with this they close your account. Same with Paypal and Patreon.

OR you could:
>You have a patreon as Design and Editing who draws furry stuff
>You form a LLC
>Get business checking in name of LLC
>Link Patreon to business checking
>Chase sees $500 monthly deposits and doesnt investigate or fucking care. Same with Paypal and Patreon.

yeah. idk guys. i'm just butthurt. I should put more time into my work but I keep getting sucked into drinking and pointless internet media.

Just to stay in the topic, no i have not made it. I sell nothing. I make shit. I make no attempts. I just draw with a ballpoint pen on my lunch break every few days. I do it for "fun".
