Question
This isn't for me, I'm honestly just curious, but do influencers have to pay taxes if they get paid in products? How does that work, will they receive a tax form?
AI accountant’s answer:
Yes, influencers are generally required to pay taxes on the fair market value of the products they receive as compensation for their services. The IRS considers these products to be taxable income, even if the influencer did not receive any cash payment. In some cases, such as when a company sends a product to an influencer without an explicit agreement for promoting the product, the product may be considered a gift, and the influencer may not have to pay taxes on it. However, this determination is subjective and would depend on the specific facts and circumstances. The company that provided the products might issue a 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC form to the influencer, reporting the value of the products as income. The influencer would then need to report this income on their tax return, along with any other income they received during the tax year. Influencers should keep records of the products they receive and their fair market value to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with tax laws.

Question
This is some text inside of a div block.
AI accountant’s answer:

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
