How We Help

Content Creators and Influencers

Social media, smartphones and high-fidelity consumer audio-visual technology have made it possible to build a following and establish a personal brand. There are more opportunities than ever to earn income from home through advertisement revenue, affiliate marketing arrangements, crowdfunding platforms and creator funds.

If your content creation revenue is growing, you’ll need a plan to record your earnings and expenses, report income, and meet tax obligations. Polston Tax’s certified public accountants (CPAs), tax attorneys and case managers can help.

We have the experience to adapt our services to the new financial opportunities available to artists, entertainers, content creators and influencers. Partner with us for end-to-end tax and accounting strategies that help you manage your personal brand like a true business.

Earning revenue from your content, art or live appearances is exhilarating — it’s an opportunity to be your own boss. As you collect, save and spend your earnings, it’s important to remember that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires self-employed individuals to file a Form 1099-NEC when they earn $600 or more in a year.

Tax season is far easier when you follow a diligent accounting strategy. By partnering with Polston Tax, you can collaborate with our team of accountants, tax preparers, and CPAs for influencers who will help you maintain accurate books. Our entertainer and influencer tax accountants implement efficient strategies for tracking revenue, identifying deduction opportunities and filing your taxes. We can help you satisfy tax obligations while ensuring your bill is fair.

The IRS and state tax commissions hold self-employed entertainers, artists and influencers to high standards. They may audit you closely and impose strict rulings — especially if you lack support from a major entertainment company’s legal team.

Polston Tax can help you navigate tax balance claims from federal, state and local agencies. We employ experienced tax attorneys who can strengthen your position by completing critical forms, negotiating with IRS agents and plotting a manageable debt resolution strategy. Our tax resolution services will usher you closer to a favorable outcome.
