Rillaboom Gigantamax Raid Day is tomorrow. If you are buying the ticket or spending PokéCoins to prep, and you are creating content about it, that's a business expense. Screenshot your purchases. Document the date. Save the receipts. Your Raid Day, just became a tax deduction!

Flying to Worlds?

If you're a business: flights, hotel, and meals are deductible.

If you're a hobby: you're just on vacation according to the IRS.

Same trip. Completely different tax treatment.

The distinction matters more than your placement. 🧾

Prepare for trouble. Make it double.

The IRS wants their cut. Scopely can delete your account tomorrow.

PSA for anyone who flipped a Times Square Mewtwo on eBay, you received it for free. That means your cost basis is $0. That means if you sold it for $10,000, that's $10,000 in taxable income. All of it. The IRS doesn't care how rare the background is. 👀 😏🤣😂

Net $50K from your Pokémon hustle?

The 20% QBI deduction could save you $1,400–$2,200 in federal taxes. That's enough PokeCoins for Mega Mewtwo Y on Sunday!

The One Big Beautiful Bill made it permanent. ⚡

DM me "QBI" and I'll show you if you qualify.

[Lavender Town Accounting @LavTownAcct]

For Pokémon GO that looks like: "Raid Hour, Riverside Park, 7/23/26, content creation for YouTube channel."

That's it. Simple, but you have to actually do it. DM me if you have questions.

[Lavender Town Accounting @LavTownAcct]

The IRS just bumped the standard mileage rate to 76 cents per mile, first mid-year change since 2022.

I was out during Raid Hour last night chasing shiny Solgaleo and it hit me. If you're a Pokémon GO content creator, those miles count.

Document them. It adds up.

[Lavender Town Accounting @LavTownAcct]

Quick note: this only works if you're operating as a business in the IRS' eyes AND keeping a mileage log.

The IRS requires: where you went, when you went, and why it was business related.

[Lavender Town Accounting @LavTownAcct]

@TCGplayer Friendly reminder from your Gym Leader CPA, if you're selling these at market value, the IRS wants to know about it.

Card sales can be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains depending on how long you held them & how you're organized.

Know the difference before you sell. 💰⚡

[Lavender Town Accounting @LavTownAcct]

Most Pokémon competitors don't know the IRS has a rule that can wipe out all their deductions.

I made a video breaking it down.

The mailbox rule didn’t change, but how USPS applies postmarks did. That distinction matters.

[Lavender Town Accounting @LavTownAcct]

New video is live 🎥

A USPS postmark change in late 2025 means mailing tax payments at the deadline can be riskier than most people realize.

Especially if you’re self-employed or earning from Pokémon content.

Love to see it! Lots of gains to be made! 👀

[Kabuto King @KabutoKing_]

This past week everyone dug their Kabuto out from storage units, closets, bulk bins, etc and sold them. New listings were at record highs. Once those get purchased…where is the next wave of listings coming from?

Going to get very interesting…

[Lavender Town Accounting @LavTownAcct]

Just a reminder to all Trainers who pay US taxes, a tax refund is an interest free loan to the government. At Lavender Town Accounting our goal for you is to pay as close to zero when you file or have your refund be as close to zero as possible!

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

2026 will provide One Big Beautiful tax refund season.

[Lavender Town Accounting @LavTownAcct]

Big congrats to Kabuto King! He was able to raise a whooping $51k for St Jude! Love to see it!

Kabuto King is making waves with his collection and giving back with the sale of his autographed 1st Edition Fossil Kabuto. Is there a tax issue lurking in the future though?
