I don't know any artists who use QuickBooks, so I'm not sure where you're coming from. You're in some kind of parallel universe to the people happily using Patreon to collect from their followers.
And they don't care about "revenue" vs "earnings" since they went to Berklee College of Music, and just want to pay their rent this month.
To be constructive:
- explain your use case in your blog. Perhaps you have an advanced use case that would be a good roadmap for future features
- or go use Stripe or Paypal payments for payment processing. Patreon is community funding software.
- fxtentacle 6y agoI work with many freelance photographers who use QBO, so it is common in some industries. BTW, your example sounds a bit like those people have a complete disregard for tax law. That sounds like the end of the year is going to be very shocking when they figure out that the patreon money which they used for rent wasn't actually theirs to use.
- redis_mlc 6y ago> have a complete disregard for tax law. BTW, you have no idea what you're talking about. I mean, none: - foreign creators don't owe tax in the US - tax is on goods, not services. No good, no tax. - most artists don't pay personal tax because they're below the minimum But Patreon is collecting, and keeping, the tax that leaks, just like ebay does now.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoit's been my experience that if you have to pay rent or keep the money for taxes you will pay rent and then later get punished for not paying the taxes, because if you don't pay the rent now later is going to suck anyway.
