Message:: [QUOTE="Vess1, post: 360305, member: 13650"]This is some good advice. But I think you're seriously worrying too much about it IMHO.  In your case, between you and me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, I wouldnt report a d*** thing. I say try it out. See how profitable it is. See how easy or hard it is to make that few hundred or thousand, and go from there. Nobody knows what you made but you. Nobody's sending them a W-2 or 1099. Paypal doesn't report to them as far as I know. If it really wears on your conscience that much, next year when you fill out your 1040, enter the amount of your "Other Income" on line 21 and describe what it's from. Then it will be added with your gross income. Since you're not a business, they would never have any idea how much extra income you had unless you fill that line out. IMO, you'd be donating to the treasury. They'll take whatever you're willing to send in.   Seriously, if you want to get that technical, probably everybody here is guilty of tax fraud at some point in their lives.   If you bought and sold anything and made a profit in your life AND didn't report it that year, technically you've broken the law.  Most people don't keep track or do anything.  It isn't a big deal, unless you're eventually living off of the income as your primary income.[/QUOTE]
