Does DougDoug evade taxes? 

Does this mean Doug can write off his 4 thousand dollars worth of olive oil purchases?

Doug should show his taxes then he can write them off too

Ironically the more chat complained about the Gerald Ford shirt not being worthy of a tax write off, the more legitimate Doug's claim got since the higher engagement made it more relevant to the job and made him money from the bits/message read-outs.

I actually find it very interesting to hear how his tax write offs work as a streamer

i love when doug says "you can legally kill me if i evade taxes" half of the chat is scared and the rest is excited

“Name one thing Gerald Ford didn’t do as the President” Get elected

Doug should make a tax evasion video game i bet he would really know all the intricacies needed to hit it out of the park

One of my favourite RU-vid videos of all time was when Tobuscus accidentally bought groceries with his business credit card, so he had to make a cooking video using all of the groceries he bought to avoid getting charged for tax fraud lmao.

Fun fact: Spiro Agnew, the guy that Gerald Ford replaced as Nixon’s Vice President, resigned as VP because he got caught for tax evasion.

I can't tell if chat is trolling Doug or if they just don't understand how tax write offs work. Both are entirely believable.

Having an image of you talking in your voice decades after your death talking about your death is dystopian.

Love how Doug almost always has a speed run timer going, for basically zero reason.

If doug does a house tour can he use the house as a tax write off

I like how doug is all serious andtries to be convincing at the start, but after some time he just descends into madness and yells: "I GOT THIS SHIRT FOR FREE"

the person saying "DONT WRITE US OFF" lmaooo

The next game Doug should play is DougDoug Commits Tax Fraud, because he is clearly really good at it

You mean to tell me THIS VIDEO ONLY SERVES THE PURPOSE OF WRITING OFF A SHIRT ON HIS TAXES?

Many business owners use their home as an office, and so they write off their own house as a business expense. However, this requires them to claim the house as a business asset. If they were to ever sell the company, they would lose the house, too. Sometimes this is legitimate, whereas sometimes they hardly use their house. DougDoug obviously streams from home, so if he bought a house I believe he could choose to do this. Only 90% sure this is correct info, tbf.

Man, wait until the twitch chatters find out you can donate to charity, which can exempt you from income taxes in most cases.

That bit about Doug asking people to name something about Gerald Ford killed me way more than it should've

as an accountant, it's scary how little people know about taxes

I can't believe DougDoug wrote off his twitch chat to get it for free. What a guy.

The fact that some people in chat think he's getting money back for it means they were probably committing some kind of tax fraud by doing their taxes wrong

This is one of those moments where I can't tell if chat is fucking with him or genuinely doesn't understand. Not trying to say it's super common knowledge, but at the very least I understand what he's talking about.

It seems we have a new favorite U.S. President in the DougDoug community give it up for Gerald Ford the guy that never won a presidential or Vice presidential election

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is 66% off right now on Steam, and with your streaming tax deduction, it's practically free. When can we expect a play through?

From talking about tax write-offs to making an AI Gerald Ford. What a crazy ride Doug's content is.

This is such a perfect edit of the hilarious part of the stream, I love how well it shows the ridiculous Gerald Ford tangent too!

I love how even Doug's clips have their own subplots now.

I like how this introduces the idea of an anti-tax fraud stream where you buy a whole bunch of games, then you have to speedrun them on December 31st or else you get sued for all of your networth

I hate that the person said it's fraud in Canada because it's not. In fact we have lesser laws on business expenses and its much easier to claim

I really like how this video pivots to a Gerald Ford video

I can't wait to see Pajama Sam & The Ghost of Al Capone in "How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Tax Bureau".

Hearing the ai Gerald Ford say poggies is hilarious

if anything doug said were true he would have just got parkzer on to tell chat. the only reason he didn't bring parkzer on is because he knows he's guilty

Next he's going to say that purchasing food is a business expense because you can't run a business without a living person or something.

He finally admitted tax fraud

this went from discussing tax writeoffs to making an AI Gerald Ford so fast

"My dear friends. My fellow Americans. George Washington" (с) Gerald Ford, 1974

You can see the frustration in how the discourse is so idiotic that you literally can't tell who is just joking and who genuinely doesn't understand basic personal finance.

I was so ready for it to come full circle with Spiro Agnew (that vice president who resigned) resigned because of TAX FRAUD!

Genuinely surprised he didn't end up phoning Parkzer.

Every time Doug hurts himself, like in a car accident, he just has to be streaming it all the time. Boom, free healthcare.

Talk all the shit you want to about Gerald Ford, but he's got an aircraft carrier named after him.

"How to Evade Taxes, ft DougDoug."

I can't believe we're complicit in Doug's tax crimes.

I can't unsee that Doug did the masking wrong so there's a hole in Gerald's stomach

I know some stuff about Gerald Ford, My Mom actually ran into him at a bicentennial event while he was president

To explain this situation. Say Doug makes 10k from steaming (his pre-tax dollars) and then spends 1k on business expenses. Then he only has to pay taxes on 9k dollars.

“Mom you won’t believe this, but my new job comes with a free $500 to buy sneakers and juice! It’s called an HSA or something!”

Why is half the video about Gerald Ford

So that's why he did a house tour, he just made the house and everything in it free!

Dougdoug is going to stream himself walking into a million dollar mansion so he can get it for free

Can't wait for the Parkzer Arrests DougDoug For Tax Evasion stream!

Does this mean Parkzer was free? Crazy how he gets free legal and police advice from the government now

I feel like this could have been a great opportunity to call Parkzer

As a fellow tax evader my self these are really good and useful tips 👍

I love how he switches from saying that it wasn’t free but he didn’t have to taxes on it to saying he got it for free.

As Doug’s taxes, I can confirm that he does evade me. 😢 come back dad

Does that mean the bunny suit was a tax write off

Reminder that tax evasion is illegal, but tax AVOIDANCE, is legal.

the reason I know Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon is that I once saw a political cartoon drawing in a school textbook of Nixon driving a Ford car to freedom

Doug so lucky he can get infinite amounts of olive oil for free

In Spain, RU-vidrs started to escape once the government started to tax them

i like how even the derailment derails

Wait, this also means that all the fast food he ate was tax deductible

Only thing I know about gerald ford is that he started a conflict by putting ships by a coastline to be shot at, great leader

I knew a guy who edited the Wikipedia page for Gerald Ford and replaced the image in the infobox with a near-identical image with a slightly larger forehead. I don't associate with that guy anymore, but the bit was very funny.

dougdoug explains taxes to a hivemind

Its a 7 minute video and yet skipping through it without context is a wild experience, going from tax evation to gerald ford

it figures twitch chat has no idea how running a business works

I didn't even realize I was being used to cover up tax evasion until the video was already over.... Well played Doug....

As a canadian I can say it is in fact, not tax fraud here lol

Day after day I realize me and DougDoug are not so different after all

the only reason this clip exists is to write off that gerald ford short

Thank you mister streamer for explaining tax write offs to me. I actually feel like I understand it better now LOL

More things he is able to write off, the section in his house he streams in, internet, and now ford

What we all learned here is that Doug is in a 30% tax bracket

The real reason why the clips channel exists, just so he can make sure it's all deductible

Doug should let us do his taxes

The only thing I know about Gerald Ford is that apparently he fell over a lot.

I cannot believe you helped Doug evade taxes for his shirts and TotK purchase by making this video, editor

I love the clips channel so much because the random tangents are amazing and I love them.

chat not understanding taxes

And so, Gerald Ford is subsumed into the DougDoug cinematic universe, alongside Saul Goodman, Thanos, and God.

Can someone please tell me why i learned how tax write offs work from DougDoug and not from the class I took in high school about owning your own business

Jerma: STOP BLUEBALLING ME AND PLAY THE GAME!!!!!!!!

Now you claim Tax Fraud as a tax deduction

Fun fact about Gerald Ford: he played football for the university of michigan and got actual nfl offers. But he declined them.

Oh lord, I feel so old. When Gen Z has to file their taxes, they'll hopefully reference this video.

I’m Gerald Ford and you’re not. -Gerald Ford

This has made me realise that I know literally nothing about taxes

Come for the gameplay stay for the blatant tax evasion

Can't believe DougDoug doesn't evade taxes #notmystreamer

Doug Doug could be writing off his meals after just eating on stream

To help people understand better tax write-offs are basically a way to get assets for cheaper than their normal cost but write-offs will never get you cold hard cash. To use the Tears of the Kingdom example from the video the game costs $60, with a tax rate of 30% if Doug keeps that $60 as profit then after taxes he has $42. If he buys the game and writes it off instead then he's essentially paying $42 for the game because that's how much money he would have had if he never bought it. However any purchase Doug makes that can't be written off has to be done with taxable income. Like let's say socks since his feet are never on stream. If Doug wants $42 worth of socks he first has to make $60 from streaming, pay the taxes on the income, then use the leftover money for the socks. In this way you can think of write-offs as a 30% off coupon for anything that Doug can use for his business. Still really powerful, especially with how flexible writing things off for his job is, but he's not getting anything for free and he's still ultimately paying taxes. Just like how coupons save you a lot of money when shopping but at the end of the day you still have to buy the things you're using coupons on with real money, just less money than you originally had to.

You can see the regret on his face after he says it because he instantly knows what’s going to happen

at the very start, he said "it's literally not" exactly like parkzer does. this is true love

The more he protest / argues the more it feels like tax fraud D:

I cant wait for the Doug pays his taxies stream
