Accepting website donations anonymously... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

melandren · 08-11-2004, 09:10 PM

So I'm setting up an erotic fiction website. I'm not charging for it, but I would like to set up a way to accept donations for bandwidth charges. But how can I do that and still keep my anonymity? Paypal (and most of their competitors) seem to list your name. Any suggestions?

Also...do you have to declare such donations in your taxes? If so, how much do you have to make before it becomes an issue?

Thanks

Paypal should only list your E-Mail address that the paypal account is linked to...not your name (at least it does on mine). So just make a donation@yoururl.whatever and set that as your paypal info.

For the taxes thing, I have no idea. My guess would be over $500 from one person needs to be claimed (kinda like contracting).
