Reddit thread posted by DSP himself asking for tax advice:
https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/6yox5p/irs_auditing_me_for_the_past_three_years/

[Washington] I was sent a letter from the IRS telling me that I'm being audited for 2016,2015 & 2014.

I'm a YouTuber so i claimed lots of things as buiness expenses. My car, my office, my filming equipment and computers.

I've claimed lunches with other YouTubers as buiness lunches because that's what they are. Taxaudit.com is helping but they are telling me the IRs needs the details about what was discussed at these lunches in 2014 (i have no idea). They've requested receipts for equipment i bought that year and i don't have them. No one told me i needed to save them. I provided them with credit card statements and that's not enough. I feel like I'm being charged as guilty without a trial. I stand to owe them as much as 300k. I could lose most everything i own.

who was in the wrong here?

The lord has answered my prayers. :)

I was one of the people who filled out forms and reported him to the IRS. Never thought it'd work, but I guess when a bunch of people fill them out it makes the IRS actually look into it.

Enjoy your time in the pigpen DSP!

He also "accidentally" deeded on stream in order to gain more publicity and attract female viewers.

Nothing about DSP is an act, except maybe that time he masturbated on stream (but the stupidity behind such a plan is right up the guy's alley anyway).

I mean, I've claimed business expenses as an independent contractor without having an actual business or business accounts

I don't make hundreds of thousands of dollars, either, though.

there was absolutely nothing attractive about watching this slimeball lazily beat his meat in a dimly lit room before a stream. It just turned my stomach.

People are jerks to DSP because he's a jerks himself. The dude treats his fans like garbage, can't admit any of his own faults, constantly has belittled and screwed over fans, his friends, and even business partners. All of his issues now are literally his own doing.

Yeah it sucks for the guy that he's about to lose everything but DSP has a horrible reputation. Whether his whole be a douche online thing act or not the guy is legit a moron. Sorry if I don't feel bad for him.

I love DSP. Every time it seems like he's bottomed out, he just goes deeper and deeper.

What I hate is when people try to say it's all on purpose, because I feel like they don't understand just how much credit they're giving the guy with statements like that. He's alienated friends, employers, and the few diehard fans with his attitude, and if even half the stuff he says about his failing personal life is true (like moving into a gated community, leasing a BMW, etc), then Darksydephil is the greatest social experiment of our time.

Or he's just a huge moron. What sounds more likely?

when you file taxes and claim business expenses, they remind you that you need to have receipts for those expenses.

so this guy is a dumbass who thought he could get away with it.

And also, there is one more thing about DSP being an act I don't understand; the dude has been consistently losing viewes since like 2013 because of his attitude. So even if it has been an act, it's not a successful one so I don't get it.

The "This is how you don't play" videos more often then not get way more views than his own Kwaulity Khantent

Yeah that's ok. If you're sole trader. But someone like him probably would be best being LLC or something, which in that case business accounts are required. Still no excuse for poor record keeping either way.

What do you do? Just curious.
