    Does your accountant know you sell porn?

    Some people embellish the truth and will say "internet advertising" but not specify what it is they advertise or say "web design" etc but what if you have a ton of 1099's and some have obvious names like BANGBROS.COM inc in the heading? The accountant will need to see all the 1099's to type them in the computer.

    Some of the companies have discreet names, but some don't and have strange sounding names or names that are recognizable.

        Pretty sure it's smart to be honest with your lawyer and accountant...

          I would NEVER hire a CPA that didn't know exactly what I did. It's the very first question I ask when I've had to look around and get a new one.

            If you only promote sites tho, is it still necessary to tell them? I mean what is the difference between promoting linkshare or something similar vs selling porn? The expenses will be the same such as advertising, hosting, pc equipment, office supplies etc. Does the product really matter?

            Also won't every single male in the U.S know what Bangbros.com INC is (I have other 1099's but I think that one is one of the most obvious ones) I never met a guy who hasn't heard of them, I mean EVERY male that has been online would most likely know right? Is there a chance they wouldn't know?

            I'm just afraid of "weird looks". I am a very sensitive person. It's not that I am embarrassed of porn, I am just afraid of people having a negative "judgment" about me about ANYTHING, not just porn. I care about what people think of me (in general).

              why does the opinion of your accountant have anything to do with them doing your paperwork? as long as you arnt doing anything illegal then who cares? if they have a problem because you work in porn then shit get another one, its not like CPAs are hard to come by.

                It doesn't matter greatly, but it would be a moment of uncomfortable-ness and I like to avoid those because I have anxiety and I don't want an anxiety/panic attack.

                  if you are that concerned about what people think then do something else. if you cant be honest about what you do then whats the point? be like living a lie everytime someone asks what you do.

                    again sounds like you need to find something else to do other than slanging porn all day...

                      I am concerned about what people think about other things too besides what I do, it's not just that.
                      I just have anxiety and I get overwhelmed easily especially in social situations. I would have anxiety with the accountant even if i didnt sell porn but selling it makes me more anxious.

                      All my friends know what I do and I am fine with that. I am more afraid of strangers because I don't know them so it's more awkward.

                            so you are afraid of what a total stranger, who you may meet for a minute and not see again, thinks of you?

                            how old are you? and are you a m/f? sorry its pretty hard to figure out from your posts.

                              I'm sure that the only thing your accountant cares about is your money.

                                Some people have more anxiety than others, it's a disorder. Has nothing to do with age or gender.

                                  if you get a avn mag or it maybe avnonline, there is an accountant who advertises in the back.

                                          Glad thing our accountant knows what we do. Business is business, nothing personal.

                                                No.

                                                However, I do not 'only' sell porn. I do other things online. They do know most of my income is from online, and I do have 1099's to file for the models. So I am sure they read between the lines.

                                                    Two people you should never hide information from, your lawyer and your accountant. Disclose to them what you do. If they have a problem with it, fire them right then and there.

                                                        Of course. there is no way of hiding this from your accountant.sooner or later they will find out, and it would be better to know if your accountant is okay with this in the beginning rather than later.

                                                          My accountant thinks I sell pastries. But really, that's not something you hide from your accountant.

                                                                                  Then again he is my father in law too.

                                                                                  One thing that did strike me is you said you do not mind people that know you knowing what you do and just not strangers. Even before my accountant was my father in law all my previous accountants were very far from strangers. These would be people I would see and speak with often. Which would make them people that know me.

                                                                                          You do realize what a CPA does don't you? If you get audited who do you think you take with you to deal with the IRS? Is that really the time you want to be filling him/her in on what you're doing? I'd hate to find out then that they had a problem with what I do.

                                                                                          Plus, you just answered your own question..... "its not like CPAs are hard to come by"..... you're right, so why not find one that has no problem with what you do?
