      Hello Roberto,
      If I have a cooking channel I do want to remodel my kitchen and buy new appliances, can I deduct 100% of these expenses when I file my taxes?
      Thank you!

      Does one need a business license to to start up an online RUclips or affiliate marketing business or after you start making more than a $1,000?? I’m learning as much as I can to successfully start my own RUclips videos without any issues down the line.

    Such great tips! You sounded like a CPA Roberto. For anyone overwhelmed by this, the important points are to keep all income and expenses related to RUclips in a separate bank account, using separate debit or credit cards dedicated to RUclips Expenses and keep all receipts. If you do that any book keeper will sort it out for you. Just hand over the monthly statements plus all receipts. Keep those receipts for a minimum of 3 years, sometimes longer!

    You can be an LLC and register as an S-Corp with the IRS. You can also pay in to the IRS as you earn. There is an IRS app so that you can pop into the app on the day you get your RUclips "check" to make a payment. For some people, this is a great tool. Get it paid right away to avoid mishaps. :)

    1:29 Can You Deduct Purchase for RUclips From Your Taxes?
    note: To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. Roborto did a great job explaining this. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your trade or business. A necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your trade or business.
    Mr Beast is writing off CRAZY things because that is ordinary for him. it will depend person to person and business to business. Gaming channels can deduct purchases of video games while other types of youtubers might not be able to.

    One interesting thing I recently discovered: if you're trying to find out your total income for the year(like maybe you haven't been saving and realized that you need to catch up), you should actually look up from December 1 of the previous year up through November 30 of the current year. This is because you receive December's earnings in January so it's counted as income earned in January, so you would owe December's taxes in the following tax year
