how online sellers can stay in compliance with the IRS and state tax laws

Fed up with the numerous violations of tax law by individuals and businesses selling goods on eBay and other Web sites, the IRS is now making online marketplaces responsible for reporting sales information to the IRS. eBay's own statistics suggest that there are 1. 3 million people around the world who make their primary or secondary source of income through eBay, with just over 700, 000 of those people in the United States. If you are an eBay seller, you may be paying more than you have to in taxes because you have not focused on all that you can deduct. You will learn how to take advantage of the legal tax loopholes available and how to choose the proper, legal business structure. If you run your online selling business in a businesslike manner with intent to profit, you can take deductions for business use of your home and also many other deductions, even though they may produce a loss that reduces the taxes you owe on your day-job income. You will learn the categories of deductions on the Schedule C. This brand new book covers everything you will need to know to balance the books, including assets and liabilities, keeping track of transactions, payroll, sales tax, financial statements, operating accounts, and complete up-to-date tax information. You will learn how to set up a simple, quick, and audit-proof recordkeeping system that works. All this will help you keep money in your pocket and prevent money from going to Uncle Sam
