In a way it is, but I haven't done anything in the past few months, so it kinda faded. Made $250 from "buy me a coffee" this year, and yeah, I paid taxes on them.

I basically send an invoice for each tip I receive. Talked a lot to my accountant about this, and she said that if I don't invoice the people sending me these tips, I'm doing fraud, and can pay huge fines once I get caught. I think only as an NGO you're allowed to receive tips w/o paying taxes on the amount. I have an LLC, so I have to invoice every income.
