Q:

Do content creators on CreateHQ pay taxes?

A:

Yes. Since they are creating money that is not through an employer, they are considered self-employed. However, depending on where you are in the world (and how much you make), you may still need to pay taxes.

For example, if you live in the United States and make more than $600 a year then you’ll need to report your income. CreateHQ will issue you a 1099 Misc. form that you will use to file your taxes. You may also qualify for tax deductions so that your tax bill can be reduced.

Q:

A:

It will depend on where you are in the world. This option is not possible if you are a US content creator since your money will only be transferred to a bank account. As mentioned, there is no support between CreateHQ and PayPal at this time.

However, if you live outside of the United States you are able to receive a payout using any compatible e-Wallet (i.e. — non-Paypal). However, it would be recommended if you linked a bank account to CreateHQ as a way to receive the money in the event if something were to happen with your eWallet.

Q:

Will CreateHQ show up on my taxes?
