Can I route X creator subscriptions into my LLC the same way as my sponsorship deals?
I am a Canadian creator and currently receive most of my revenue from sponsorships and newsletter referrals, but I may turn on creator subscriptions and ad revenue features on X. I already use a Delaware LLC because some U.S. brands prefer contracting with a company. My annual creator revenue is around $85,000.
My question is less about whether the platform allows it and more about the tax side. If one part is platform monetization and the other part is direct sponsor work, should they stay in the same LLC books or be split out somehow?
