Been using Mark for years and currently hired him as my book keeper. Solid Guy; already saved me 1000s in taxes.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video and for answering even the more basic questions. People have to start somewhere!

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make. It cleared up some things for me.

Outstanding reselling/flipping business video! It was very well thought out and planned, and loaded with information and explanations that all online sellers need and may not yet have thought of or learned.

Great video. Sound was great on this one! Thank you!

My accountant said filing as an s-Corp for taxes makes the most sense and gives the most tax benefit when income is over $25k - $35k.

Subbed! Tysm 🙏🏼 Great info, well spoken. Learned alot.

Wow, very informative, thank you. I’m new to California. Just moved here from Dallas, TX. Taxes are very different between the 2 states, but no regrets- I love love love Los Angeles. Subscribed and gave a thumbs up, thank you!

really like hearing You.

I am new to reselling. Can't find one receipt so this was helpful

That Cooperstown jersey brings me back to the good days

Awesome video

thank you for the the info helped me out a bit

Great video

Make sure you keep track of all your transaction and have your bookkeeper pull all your financial statements

I also recommend both courses from Mark Tew. He goes over all the topics I cover in full-length.

Hey Chris, I sell about $3000 a year of stuff that I collected from 30 years ago. What do I put as inventory? I don't want to carry an inventory because it wasn't bought for inventory and I don't know what to do with the lines that ask for a beginning and ending inventory on the schedule C?

Can you make a video on shipping? What to charge, which packaging is best to ship in.

Keep good record

I hire for my personal life. I’d definitely would hire a CPA if I were to start a reselling business.

what if i only re-sell in person at flea markets? all my money comes from in person transactions.. i have a re sellers permit, what if i just didn't report anything? as most of my money comes in cash....

Sounds like a new gig might be doing taxes, instead of running around re-selling. The IRS could go back seven years? They have 50,000 new agents?

? eBay sole proprietor this year with ss# for eBay can I switch to llc or s- corp and keep my same eBay store at the beginning of next year .( just switch my tax id with eBay) ?

Accountants build upon Bookkeepers to help you maximize

Can I write off Refunds to customers?? And How?

In a given year, how do you account for items in your listed inventory and items yet to be listed? Does the money spent on all inventory items get subtracted from your sales income?

Would you recommend starting a new ebay store for someone looking to make the jump from selling personal items to ReSelling? I was also thinking about converting my personal account to business and then making a new account for personal since I still want to buy personal items. I have great seller feedback already so I am leaning towards converting but would really like a PRO's opinion.

I have a question? I been selling on what not a lot but I don’t have a business account yet , what would be some recommendations to start ? Or If you can point me to the right direction to get my stuff in place before I get in trouble with the irs 😂

Do I have to pay taxes on my profit if I make less than the minimum taxable income? I am a student just doing eBay on the side

Okay, with the new $600 1099-K threshold, a lot of people who are selling personal items on eBay will need to now report that income and there are a lot of questions along those lines. In most cases the items are selling for less than their original cost but the seller does not have a record of the purchase price (e.g. old items from the attic). What to do? Also, I'm selling items inherited from the estate of a family member. My guess is that, since I'm selling them at "fair market value" and I inherited them fairly recently then my "basis" cost of these items equals the sell price - so no taxes due (i.e. I sold them for the same value as I acquired them). And, another area of confusion is the vague "occasional yard sale" exception that the IRS casually mentions. Does that apply to eBay sellers of personal items? What are the thresholds (e.g. I can sell 100 items? 1000 items?). Maybe this would be a good topic for another video with maybe a guest who is a tax pro.

will they ask what i am selling?

What is most of the money I make is from inventory on last year

Is your mileage let's say driving from home to yard sales, thrift stores or post office to ship merchandise deductible?

So I heard you mention that you estimate your income at $2 per sale coming up to $100,000 per year? With sales, wouldn't that number change based on business slow times when items are not in demand? Or is that when you do business loss reporting? Also if you work that business alone and do not have other employees, do you also get paid as an employee too if you are doing both the business labor as a worker in the business and also all the inventory and book keeping etc as the business owner, so wouldn't you get 2 incomes coming in???😳

How do you determine the purchase price for each individual item when you purchase a pallet? Is that calculated differently to determine the profit for each item sold?

A hobby is something done for fun. You don't get to write off a $5,000 oven to bake and sell 25 cakes. The government isn't going to buy your oven They will buy part of your oven if you bake and sell 2500 cakes and earn a profit, and PAY TAXES. The should've been collecting taxes all along. I'd say a CPA would do your taxes for $200 to $500 depending on how complex you are. Cost basis is zero if you don't have receipts.

If you do ebay and etsy and redbubble, do you need to make three separate bank accounts...???

You can do 10 listings an hour and the same takes me a whole week. Yikes to me.

Looked for that receipt book on your amazon link, but didn’t see it. Is it still available? Thanks.

QUESTION: I have a friend who wants me to sell some old nikes for him.. A. Should I set up an LLC for approximately 200+ sneakers he's dropping off? B. What kind of split should I take? My friend's basically supplying all the inventory, but I'm doing the marketing/reselling (via instagram) and probably getting hit with all the tax implications. He deserves the majority of the profits, but I don't want to end up taking a loss, due to PayPal, etc. seeing my account receive all the profits (even though I would probably pay out my friend in cash) . Thanks for the informative video!
