There's no hard and fast rule on this. Certainly small amounts of selling your used stuff is totally fine and you won't get any income tax liability. Basically, they already taxed you for the money you used to buy it, and you won't get as much for it as you paid in the first place. However, if you sell enough stuff that it moves from hobby to business, and you sell things online in order to make a profit, particularly if you buy wholesale things and sell them, you are running a business and need to declare the profits.

No. Employing undocumented aliens is illegal, so if you deduct those costs it's called tax fraud.

not if you are looking at as a "deduction"\nit's a flat rate up to a ceiling, based on taxable gross income. best way to reduce it is, pretax deductions (401, pretax med insurance, fsa, etc)

Those expenses are only a factor if you choose to itemize.  If the "we" in your questions suggests that you are married and intend to file jointly your standard deduction for 2006 will be $10,300.  The portion of medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your AGI are deductible.  That amount and your other deductions would need to be greater than $10,300 before you would make that choice. But you should still keep the documentation of those medical expenses.  You would include in your medical expenses any mileage you drove to receive the care.  The rate for 2006 is .18 cents a mile.

unless u have income as writer and an artist, you can not deduct any expenses. If you had a reasonable amount of income you could do a schedule C (business income  or loss). Otherwise the IRS will consider it a hobby.\n In terms of any other deductions, unless they exceed the standard deduction , it is not worth it. See the site below for more info on deductions

Not sure but I know you can get a 17.5% discount from VAT (value added tax). Ask the person to discount it and file and not to pay VAT.

Actually, that first answer is wrong - maybe he didn't realize he was in the Canada taxes section.  You can claim any medical expenses that exceed 3% of your NET income.  I have no way of knowing what your net income is, but I'm guessing that it is probably too high for you to deduct medical expenses anyway.  If it IS low enough to allow you to claim the medical expense, then you are in a really low tax bracket, so not likely the $60 expense would result in a $60 tax saving.

Well you have to first understand that all of the actual labe will be taxed ( in the US) as self employment, so you will have 15 percent social security tax on top of your normal income tax to pay.  So you have to add in at least 35 or 40 percent just to pay taxes or you will have a giant tax bill come next April.\n\nNext you need to know the costs of the matierals you are going to use.  If  you don't know the cost of them, go to the hardware store and price ( not sale prices) some of the standard material you will need, and then have thier phone number handy to call for prices.\n\nNext is experence, how long do you beleive the job will take, if you estimate 4 hours and it takes 8, oh well you did not make too much per hour but you learned.\n\nSo you take the cost of the materials ( add in a small amount for having to go get the material from the store and for some waste and what I call a fudge factor)  so I would add in 10 or 15 percent on the top of my estimate on material cost.\n\nSo you have your material cost,  \n\nnext you have to figure how much an hour you wish to clear after taxes, if you want to earn 20 dollars a hour you will basicly need to use 30 dollars since you know a factor is used in taxes.\n\nNext you will have overhead,  the cost of your truck, your gasoline, truck insurance.  are you going to be licenced ( that has a cost)  are you going to be bonded, insured for liablity or for workers comp and so on.\n\nIf you said yes to that, then you will have an overhead factor that can run from 15 to 30 percent of your labor cost.\n\nI will make a note,  if you don't have liability insurance, consider it.  I was at a ladies house one time and she complained latter I backed into her mail box,  she even sued me in small claims court ( her word that I did, my word I did not)   I paid for it.\n\nAnother time I was in a gentlemans house and a fitting fell onto his carpet causing a large grease stain,  guess what I had to pay for the cost of a carpet cleaning machine.  had it been worst or not came out, I would have had to buy new carpet.\n\nJust some thoughts.

what's the money being deducted for

it is a 10 percent penalty plus the taxes.  You can take it out without penalty for education and certain other approved uses.  I would advise against it otherwise.
