Do You Have to Pay Taxes When Selling Feet Pics?
Yes. If you earn money from selling feet pics — whether on FeetFinder, Footly, OnlyFans, Reddit, or anywhere else — the IRS considers it **self-employment income**.
That means it’s taxable, even if the platform you use doesn’t send you a tax form.
When Do You Get a 1099 Form?
In 2025, U.S.-based platforms are required to send a **1099-NEC** (or 1099-K depending on the structure) if:
You earn $600+ in a calendar year.
If you earn less than $600, you may not get a form — but you’re still legally required to report your earnings.
How Different Platforms Handle Taxes
- • FeetFinder: Typically issues 1099-NEC forms via Segpay.
- • OnlyFans: Issues 1099-NEC if $600+ earned.
- • Footly: Tracks payouts cleanly and issues 1099s automatically for U.S. creators.
International creators have separate requirements based on their home country's tax laws.
What Counts as Taxable Income?
Any money you earn from selling content counts as income. That includes:
- • Photo and video sales
- • Paid subscriptions
- • Tips
- • Custom request payments
- • Bundles
- • Messaging fees
Even **cash apps and off-platform payments** are taxable if they’re part of your business.
Common Tax Deductions for Feet Pic Sellers
You can lower your tax bill by deducting business expenses. Many creators qualify for:
✔ Lighting & Equipment
Ring lights, tripods, backdrops, etc.
✔ Phone or Camera
The percentage used for your business.
✔ Props & Outfits
Socks, heels, lotion, themes — all deductible.
✔ Home Office Deduction
If you shoot/work in a designated workspace.
✔ Editing Software
Canva Pro, CapCut, Lightroom, etc.
✔ Platform Fees
FeetFinder subscriptions, service fees, etc.
This is not tax advice — always consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
Why Footly Makes Taxes Easier Than FeetFinder
FeetFinder requires creators to pay monthly subscription fees, which complicates your deductible tracking. You also need to manually track earnings across subscriptions, custom requests, and bundle sales.
Footly simplifies everything:
- • Clean payout history for easy tax recording
- • No monthly platform fees to track
- • Verified payout breakdowns
- • Automatically prepares 1099s for U.S. creators
- • Easy export of your earnings
If you want the easiest tax season as a content creator, choose a platform that keeps clean records — not one that buries your transactions behind messy dashboards and subscription layers.
Final Thoughts: Taxes Aren’t Scary When You’re Prepared
Selling feet pics is a real online business — and real businesses pay taxes. As long as you:
- • track earnings
- • keep receipts
- • claim your deductions
- • report income honestly
— tax season becomes simple and predictable.
