Hi @SyberKnight ! 

This is not really a tax question, but the short answer is no, there is no way to collect YouTube income and escape the eyes of the Social Security Administration. Google is required by United States tax laws to collect certain tax-related information from some publishers. If you're required to provide tax information, details will be available on the "Payments > Settings" page in your AdSense account. Google is going to send you a 1099 if you earn more than $600, and they will also send a copy to the IRS.

 

You may want to contact the Social Security Administration with this question. Here is a link to a helpful SS Administration resource:

That being said, I would love to hear your songs 🙂
