CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Adult business resource Sex Work CEO has released of a new course in collaboration with sex worker and accountant Daisy Does Taxes offering guidance on how to manage taxes as a self-employed sex worker.
"This course comes just in time for online sex workers and content creaetors as they file their federal income tax returns—due this year on April 18," Sex Work CEO founder MelRose Michaels said. “Daisy is an incredible accountant, and I'm so proud to be able to share sex worker-specific advice on taxes. It's a topic that is often very misunderstood, especially with online or hybrid creators that have multiple revenue streams on various platforms and applications. Being a Sex Work CEO means being empowered to build your entreprenarial empire, but it also means making sure things like your taxes are covered."
The three-part video series launched April 11 and tackles the tax basics for self-employed sex workers, covering topics including filing tax returns, what income sources to declare, the records to retain, what expenses can and can't be deducted, and how much to pay in self-employment taxes, as well as how they're calculated.
“Sex work is work and like all workers, we need to file taxes,” says Daisy. “There is a lot of misunderstanding around filing taxes as a sex worker, but if you’re earning online or with cash apps or bank deposits, the IRS already knows how much money you made. Take a deep breath, it's going to be OK. These videos will help you understand the basics to get started.”
For many individuals and small businesses, taxes need to be filed by Monday, April 18, 2022. In most cases an extension can be filed to push the deadline until October 15, though a tax payment may still be due on April 18. More information on extensions is available here.
Sex Work CEO was launched by veteran content creator and entrepreneur Michaels on International Sex Workers Day 2021. The free, educational and sex worker advocacy platform works to educate performers and help shape the future of sex work by helping content creators grow their business and advocate for themselves and their rights.
