Those rewards are not monetary payment, they are essentially coupons and need not be reported.
Legally Curse is required to report it's
monetary payments of over $600, and they are taxable as income (because they are income), as are (technically) any donations authors receive from their donate button.
Further more, reporting those payments does not in anyway reduce the taxes Curse has to pay on it's own profits.
In other words, authors have to pay taxes on their income. What else is new?
