question about taxes?

Question

do you have to file taxes if you sell avon?

Answer 1

If you have self employment income in excess of $400 you must file. If you have other income and the total income exceeds $8,450 for 2006 (single filer) you must file. Income from selling Avon (or anything else) is fully taxable.

Answer 2

You would be considered to be running your own business selling Avon. If your income from your business is over $400 for the year, then yes you do have to file a return and pay taxes.

Answer 3

There is a minimum amount below which you don't have to file taxes. (That figure varies every year.)

However, regardless of whether you meet that threshold or not, you will probably want to file regardless if you are eligible for tax credits that may result in a refund. (Yes, some people are eligible for refunds, even if they didn't pay any taxes into the system.)

You should try going to the IRS web site and looking at the free efile links. They will help you prepare your taxes for free (if you meet the income guidelines) and even efile for free.

Answer 4

It depends on the amount you've earned for the year. It is a job. It is earned income and what about the Form 1099 that you may have gotten. You may find out that although you may have to file a return, you may only be subject to Social Security taxes. It is worth paying a few dollars to have one of the several inexpensive tax services take a look at your income and expenses and advise you accordingly.

Answer 5

Absolutely! Tax filing is required of anyone who earns income.
Depending on how much you earn, what your business expenses are, etc. you may or may not owe any taxes. But the law says you must file.

Answer 6

If you are making a profit it is considered income, so yes you would have to file taxes.
