Reselling and ecommerce live and die by inventory accounting — get cost of goods right and your tax bill drops.
Whether you flip on eBay, run Amazon FBA, or sell through Shopify, you're a business on Schedule C and you'll receive 1099-Ks from your platforms and processors. Inventory and cost of goods sold drive your real profit — and your tax — so clean records are everything.
Income you’ll report on: 1099-K.
Most people in this line of work leave money on the table. Here's what we make sure to capture:
If you earn as an independent contractor, yes — self-employment tax is 15.3% (Social Security and Medicare) on your net profit, on top of regular income tax. You deduct half of it, and every business deduction lowers what you owe. We handle the calculation on Schedule SE.
Common write-offs include cost of goods sold and inventory, platform and payment processing fees, shipping, packaging, and supplies, home office and storage space, plus a share of your phone and any home-office use. We go through your year line by line so nothing legitimate gets missed.
If you expect to owe $1,000 or more for the year, the IRS generally wants quarterly estimated payments to avoid an underpayment penalty. We calculate them so next April isn't a surprise.
Yes. Your income is taxable whether or not a client or platform sent a 1099. We report it correctly and offset it with every deduction you qualify for.
