Need Help with income made on eBay + inheritence
Asked onSunday, November 19, 2023 by KatieI inherited a large video game collection from a non-blood related person earlier this year. There were no documents, I was just given the items by her surviving wife. I also have been unemployed for about half of this year. I have since taken that time to sell the items on eBay. I am unsure how best to go about taxes on this since my situation is a bit unique. Am I considered self-employed because I have spent the last 3 months listing and selling all of these items on eBay? I plan to return to work after the first of the year. So far, I have made about 26,000$ (before all fees on eBay are deducted as well as shipping fees) How do I determine what I need to save for taxes? Is it all capital gains since I was given most of the items I have sold, or do I need to evaluate how much each item was worth at the time I got it in February vs. how much I sold it for in say, September? Can I deduct all of the packing materials I have had to pay for, as well as shipping that I covered? What about shipping the buyer paid for but is included in my final value on eBay? Can I deduct the computer & printer I use for doing all of this? Can I deduct a wage for my time doing this? Any info you can provide me with on what all I should have by the time I go to file my taxes would be much appreciated!!

Taxation on RMD from a Traditional IRA when I have no earned income.
Asked onFriday, November 17, 2023 by KathrynThree part question- I was notified by AIG Insurance co. in June of 2023 that I had pension money owed to me since 2015 (when I turned 65) and they couldnt locate me all that time. I requested the amount ($28800.)as a lump sum payout and transferred directly to my Traditional IRA. It was deposited in August 2023. Do I have to include this balance in the calculation of my 2022 RMD. Second- I took an RMD from accounts that I had as of 12/30/22. I received $2100.00. I did not have tax withheld. My husband and I file jointly and do not have any earned income, only social security benefits. Do I need to file a return and pay the 10% federal tax. Third- Now that interest rates are going up on savings accounts, if I receive $10.00 or more in interest in tax year 2023, will I have to file a federal return just for the interest earned and my RMD for 2023? Thank you.
Is Sales or Use Tax Due in Florida by the Company
Asked onFriday, November 17, 2023 by HethaWe have a company in FL that owes us a substantial amount of money for loans to the company to cover expenses, etc. over the years. We have a second home in NC. We purchased an item for our home in NC using a company credit card because the company owes us money and because the item is large and had to be delivered to the company address (as we don't have a forklift at home and we were in FL at the time of the delivery). We took the item to the second home in NC it has been there since. It is clearly not a company item. The transaction was posted in the company's books against the Note Payable. Our company just had a sales and use tax audit and the auditor is insisting that we have to pay use tax on the item as it was shipped to the Florida address. Since this is not a company item and it is not even being used in the State, is the company liable for the use taxes on the item?
