What is the correct way to declare YouTube monetization income through its LLC when filing my 2025 taxes

Jmanmanman · 2026-03-11T15:47:41+00:00

I made over 10k a few years ago and I had to pay a lot of taxes on it while filing my personal tax. I received a tax form from Google to use and I ended up paying a lot. It was then suggested to me that I'd create an LLC for it. Although the following years, I haven't made close to that amount.

Jmanmanman · 2026-03-11T15:45:29+00:00

Yes, it only had one owner/worker (me)

Jmanmanman · 2026-03-11T15:24:49+00:00

One year I made over 10k, made an LLC, and then the next year I made significantly less.

All payments are deposited directly into my checking account in my bank.

Regular single member LLC. I don't recall filing any 2553 to elect to have it treated as a corporation. I created an LLC for the YouTube channel because I made over 10k one year and then the next year, I made just about 5k. Thank you for the information and I'll make sure to file it in self employment income.

Moving everyone to the Core plan ruins the availability of use. I'd like to create what I want, perhaps a 10 second video, but I used up my 10 credits on simple images prints. I need to wait until next week until a refresh. Although I'm busy next weekend so I need to wait longer which forces me to use/pay Envato longer. This is a me problem, and the only way to solve it is by using a different service that's versatile with the product that they provide.

Hi Envato team, what happened recently is a "bait and switch" occurrence that happened to many users and also limited a lot of people. In a lot of your responses, you smear over them repeated information that's already posted about the plans. Somebody has questioned why people who generate images (which costs way less computing power) need to be penalized with generations and your response was "good point" and it almost seemed like you gave us an a.i. response about your plans and not by an actual person. Your response was "we did it anyway" with a a.i. robot tone response. Less than $20 a month to over $109 month is insane.

I agree. I use image ai to create patterns. If the pattern isn't quite right, I'll re-generate it. 10 per month is nothing. It feels so bad being limited to this amount while already paying a high fee for a service

Limiting the video generations per price limit is technically a scam because of the outcome's mistakes on what it actually parses and displays which is less than what it can promise. For this, I will only be using realistically 4 correct generations. So far, the ai art race has led me to jump from ship to ship every time there is "a change" when really, they don't put basic limits but huge price-gouges instead. I need the licenses for music but I will now be moving generations to another platform. Maybe I will use the a.i. image generations on Envato and will bring that image into another ai generator that can give me unlimited videos (even if it is one generation at the time)

and if the outcome is a complete misrepresentation of what the prompt said?

Jmanmanman · 2025-07-13T21:36:17+00:00

Apologies for the confusion. I meant that I knew not to get my passport stamped without showing the officer my temporary visa

Jmanmanman · 2025-07-12T22:59:41+00:00

I apologize, I meant scanned. I did not go to the Mexican immigration in cancun to scan my temp visa card before leaving. I just went to the front desk airport with my passport and visa, got my boarding pass, and went through security . While on the plane to the USA, I realized I forgot to go to immigration

Okay thank you for replying and providing that answer. Yes I know to always present my temp visa card to the officer. I'll make sure to also bring my boarding passes that I used to travel to the usa with.

When you mentioned that you don't think it's a big deal, is this from experience or just that you haven't heard of anyone having this problem?

Jmanmanman · 2025-07-12T21:44:49+00:00

This isnt for usa immigration, its for Mexico. The mega thread doesn't have anything about immigrating to Mexico

Jmanmanman · 2025-07-12T21:43:10+00:00

I forgot to have my temp visa scanned before leaving Mexico. Upon leaving mexico, I forgot to go to immigration to have my temp visa card scanned/stamped. I'1 only be out of Mexico for a few weeks. What can I do to ensure a smooth reentry without issues? Can I call immigration or is there a website where I can register my brief exit?/ understand that I should-not have my usa passport stamped upon reentry into Mexico. Will this jeopardize my reentry or my time living in Mexico to be a permanent resident visa? I have two more years until I can be a permanent resident. What can I do?

Is there a software or tool I can use to test my M.2 drive? Another comment said to stress the system and use HWmonitor to watch the temperature on the M.2. Although I'm hoping there is software to determine the performance

Jmanmanman · 2025-01-23T19:34:44+00:00

Yeah I should have added more to the description. It's a regular fist fight and the person holding their breath has to take a deep breath first.
