Short answer: That Pitch is a music distribution and licensing platform, not a financial firm. We cannot provide legal tax advice, financial counseling, or custom answers regarding your personal tax obligations.
However, while we cannot calculate or file your taxes for you, our dashboard provides all the necessary raw income data you need to hand off to a certified financial professional.
Where to Find Your Sync Income Data
To file your taxes accurately, you will need to pull your earnings records from both our platform and your performing rights networks:
Your That Pitch Bank History: Because our platform routes 100% of upfront library earnings directly to you (minus standard banking processing fees, legal administration, or required statutory withholdings), you are responsible for tracking your total intake. You can find a complete, itemized log of every withdrawal by clicking on the Gear Icon (Settings) in the top right corner, selecting "Manage Account", and clicking on the "Bank" tab.
Your PRO Tax Statements: Remember that backend performance royalties are never processed by our platform. Any royalties earned from television, film, or streaming broadcasts are paid directly to you by your Performing Rights Organization (PRO), and they will issue their own separate tax summaries.
How to Leverage This Information
When preparing your annual tax returns, we highly recommend taking your exported That Pitch Bank ledger, your PRO earnings reports, and your end-of-year 1099-MISC or 1042-S documents (distributed by March 15th) straight to a certified public accountant (CPA) or tax professional. They will be able to provide accurate localized advice, help you maximize your business deductions as a music producer, and ensure your creative revenue is reported flawlessly.
