Reporting sales of large $$ items

[BobC]

I hope you guys aren't upset or mad with me in regards to threads I post in that end up getting into taxes as part of this hobby/business. I post to hopefully give out information and advice in response to specific tax questions, correct or expand on posts of others that may not be accurate or fully answer a tax related question, and maybe provide helpful guidance to others just reading along. I try to keep all my tax related posts as apolitical as possible, though I may mention a politician's name or an administration involved in some tax related law or change, solely as a point of reference or contex and not to politicize or condone/condemn anyone's specific politics or point of view. Unfortunately, since tax laws are passed and enforced by our government, and our government is basically run by politicians, it is virtually impossible to entirely and completely separate the two, taxes and politics. If you all prefer, I'll just never respond to any tax questions again.
