It sold for less than $600, so no 1099. But look on the bright side. Because he sold an item for a profit, he can deduct the costs of his tool purchases, using a schedule "C". I really think the gift certificate was a GIFT though, and not payment. Unfortunately, for the last couple days (actually nights), I have been working on my schedule "C". It is hard to believe I spent so much on tools last year. Credit card and receipts show it though. When you are self employed, tools are always on sale for a minimum of 15.35% off, plus Federal tax rate, and state tax rate. Comes out to about 50% off. Buy tools, or give it to the government. Now that is a tuff choice- yeah, right!Congrats on the sale!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap
Can't wait to see the look on your face when they send you a 1099.:rotflm::rotflm::rotflm:
