Kickstarter funds are considered taxable income. but expenses related to the expense are deductible as self-employment income (Schedule C). The big IRS issue is not the INCOME taxes but Self-Employment Tax (Social Security and Medicare) is due on net self-employment income over $400- but because the GROSS is more, to show the net business income, you would have to file the Schedule C to show expenses.
