<prompt> Human: Is it possible to write off donations of any amount for tax purposes considering that most of the time, they are a gift? And as far as income from subscriptions on Twitch, are those taxable? Or does the money that goes to Twitch cover the taxable portion?Generally, any tax advice that relates to using Twitch as primarysupplementary form of income is welcome. Edit: It seems that I got my answer a few times over. Thank you to everyone that responded. I am not a streamer, but I was watching a video on YouTube recently and the person was announcing that he quit is day job and is streaming full-time. It just made me curious about how taxes would work if streaming was a source of actual income.  <response>: Incoming Twitch donations are income, not gifts or charitable donations. You must pay taxes on them as you would any other form of income, including the self-employment tax on income over 400.You can deduct expenses used to earn that income as business expenses, though.
