Understanding Taxes for Self-Employed YouTubers

This is some great information, having just left the military, made some money from YouTube and having a part time job to kill time my taxes sound like their going to be a disaester, luckily I get that 1099 to help keep things straight. I was already going through my bank account to make records, don't need to now!

My accountant told me that I can take out business expenses and I don't own an LLC and I'm not a part of any partnerships. Do you think this might be California specific?

Search around for CPA's in your local area but their professional services are not free. Most will give you a free consultation though.
 
I don't live in America but I'm a bit curious about this.

If an American YouTuber flew to say VidCon, could they include all expenses (flights, accommodation, etc) in their business expenses? (I would imagine that you could argue that conventions directly benefit your success because it's like advertising in a way.)

Yes, except for meals, which can only have 50% of their cost count as a deduction.
