We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with Patreon to support their US-based creators with their 2022 taxes!
Founded in 2013, Patreon pioneered the modern model of the creator economy. With over 8 million members and 250,000+ creators globally, Patreon has quickly become the best place for creators to build memberships by providing exclusive access to their work and a deeper connection with their communities.
Like many 1099 workers in the US, Patreon’s creators tend to have complicated tax situations: they compile a significant number of business expenses throughout the year, including home internet, microphones, cameras, and other types of studio equipment.
“We’re really excited to partner with Keeper because any way we can support Patreon creators on their taxes is something we're interested in,” said Brian Keller, Director of Creator Success at Patreon.
“We know that taxes are a huge part of running your own business and that people earning 1099 income can have pretty complex tax situations, so this partnership made a lot of sense for us.”
Before Keeper, creators had to keep hold of paper receipts and maintain Excel spreadsheets to keep track of their expenses — only to then have to manually enter them into a traditional tax software, line by line.
This process was so time-consuming — and required so much manual recordkeeping — that many creators have been choosing to forego their write-offs altogether, paying for the cost of all their production-related expenses out of pocket. As a result, many creators have likely been overpaying the IRS by thousands of dollars at tax time…
“We’re doubling down on helping our creators build their membership businesses more efficiently, and really want to help them profit as much as possible,” said Keller.
That’s why we’re excited to partner with Patreon: so we can put money back into creators’ pockets and reduce the stress of tax filing... so that they can focus on keeping us all entertained with amazing content!
Keeper is the first and only tax filing software designed for people with business income. And we’re making taxes magical.
Simply connect the financial account(s) you use for work, and we’ll automatically uncover hidden tax breaks that could be worth thousands of dollars. At tax time, file directly through the app with the IRS and all 50 states — as many states as you need.
Keeper supports W-2, 1099, and investment income — plus hundreds of credits, deductions, and special tax situations.
No upsells, either! Every Keeper user enjoys audit protection and access to an assigned tax assistant at no additional cost — ever.
