Someone just told me they got their Twitch 1099s. Time for general tax advice for all US based new media creators. Yes, you need to file if you have at least $400 in NET self-employment earnings (non W-2). But, here's the trick - the IRS doesn't know your expenses (1/14)

Welp, it is January which means tax season is upon us once more. I reviewed my thread from last year and it's still pretty accurate because tax changes tend to be slow moving but there are a few new things to discuss. nitter.gq/WarbNull/status/135377…

We don't know fully what was exposed in the Twitch breach, but if financial data was a part of it you may want to take some precautionary steps. Could be SSN, address, legal name. 1. Freeze credit nerdwallet.com/article/finan… 2. Monitor credit creditkarma.com/

Sharing a scam #IRS email making the rounds. Lots wrong here, but some quick flags: 1) IRS won't initiate contact via email about your #tax acct; 2) Several spelling & grammar mistakes; & 3) Didn't come from a govt email address. If in doubt, assume it's a #scam. (HT @MrIdotaxes)

2. Creators that are close to the 20% threshold but ineligible (e.g. 19% of revenue derived from areas with local sub pricing) will be impacted negatively in the short term by this change (11/12)
