Estimates, not tax advice — your write-offs and credits shift every line. Self-employment tax is usually the surprise: it’s often bigger than income tax.

01

Every sponsorship, tracked to the wire

CPM deals, flat-rate host-reads, renewals — Post tracks each one from contract to paid, chases late invoices on your schedule, and flags when the network's check doesn't match the insertion order.

02

Patreon, connected natively

Memberships are the steadiest podcast money. Post connects to Patreon directly and your bank, so pledges and payouts reconcile without you exporting a CSV every month.

03

Quarterlies on real numbers

Ad income is lumpy; the IRS schedule isn't. Post's engine — reviewed by a team of accountants — recalculates federal, self-employment, and state tax as money lands, and nudges you before every 1040-ES deadline.

Common questions

Does Post connect to my hosting platform's ad network?

Dynamic-ad payouts (Megaphone, Acast, etc.) land through your bank connection and are recognized as income automatically. Host-read sponsorships live in the deal pipeline, where the contract and the payment get matched.

Patreon is most of my income. Does Post handle it?

Yes — native Patreon connection plus bank sync, so memberships flow in automatically and reconcile against the actual payouts.

My co-host and I split everything. Can Post handle that?

Track the show's income in one workspace and invite collaborators to it. For formal splits, your CPA gets a free seat on Pro to set up the right structure with real numbers in front of them.
