When you order a pizza it doesn't exist at the time you order. That doesn't change the fact that you're purchasing a product.

Though I think with kickstarter you're technically making a donation. Either way I don't see how that could affect your taxes (other than sales tax) unless you're backing something you want use as a deduction...



Donation is very different from purchase.

but i was thinking mostly for the guy receiving the money. There's then a distinction for selling and servicing.

The pizza analogy is not that fitting, because there's no wording saying the pizza may not materialize.
