"C. Which Form to File: Nonresident aliens who are required to file an income tax return must use Form 1040-NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return"

NOT YOUR LAWYER. Just providing links to a government website that explains what that government requires of people who earn US income.

Thank you. So it indeed is doable, just holy moly the forms.

Things like "Add lines 25a through 25c". Don't they have computers? Are the forms for Citizens like this too?

I guess that somebody will have to check all submissions => depending on the amount of people that earn $ through Youtube, the amount of work might increase quite a bit for the IRS?
