CHASEnBLUE Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I'd love to contribute more but an early post was removed for "politics" - not sure why as factual statements were made like many others here. Anyway.... Looks like its time to double-down on sales until that date! The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got a link? Ya I wasn't sure but the article seems to state that it was part of the stimulus bill? The latest one, I'm not sure but they don't give a screenshot of where it states that, but dang The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest one, I'm not sure but they don't give a screenshot of where it states that, but dang I'm not finding anything about such a change being included in the bill that was passed by the Senate. But it has been entertaining seeing political posts laying blame for a package that's offering nearly $2 trillion in assistance to American families, workers, the unemployed, states with budgets ravaged by COVID, the underinsured, and many others.

jcjames Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 35 minutes ago, the blob said: You sell the household item you bought for $1000 for $601... is that taxable? It shouldn't be. I spend $3000 a year on comics and sell about the same. if you look at the cost on each book, maybe I have turned a profit and have unsold inventory. they're treating everyone like a real business with this, in which case you wouldn't be taxed at the capital gains rate per item, you'd be taxed like a business. so a business that spends $3000 a year on inventory and makes $3000 in sales (post fees) should not pay any taxes. But putting together the paperwork to document this is a giant PITA. Again, if the feds need blood, i'd much rather just have them add a 2% national sales tax on these transactions. If the feds need blood I'd just rather they slit their own wrists and leave us the hell alone! theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has power, resources and influence, the other does not. It has always been thus. Exactly, instead of taxing the billionaires and corporations who barely pay taxes already... they come for the poor. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
