Ebay is obviously selling goods so you'll need to show your expenses should you be audited.


Good that were already taxed when I bought them.

You paid income tax when you bought tangible personal property?

Is the IRS really going to audit you if you sell an item for $800 on Ebay? I seriously doubt that will ever happen. They might send you a letter if it's not reported on your 1040 - so you better keep track of your basis and costs and put them on your tax return. It's going to be a PITA - that's all.

The sale is the taxable event. If you sell an item you would owe tax on the proceeds received exceeds the amount you paid for it.

Simply formula:

Taxable Income = Proceeds Received - Cost Basis

Now pay your fricking taxes all you deadbeats.
