Gifted products are taxable! If a brand sends you a $1,000 handbag for a post, you owe taxes on $1,000 of income — even though you never received cash.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I value gifted products?
Use fair market value — what the product would sell for to the public. Usually the retail price. Keep records of all gifted items.
Can I deduct clothes I wear in photos?
Generally no — if suitable for everyday wear, it's not deductible even if bought for content. Costumes or items that can't be worn outside of work may be deductible.
What if I'm paid in crypto or gift cards?
Still taxable. Use the fair market value at the time you received payment.
