I am currently employed in NY, single, do not own a home or have any assets. For many years i file using a 1040 / 1040 EZ form for federal. This year i may need to report additional income generated on ebay/online sales and will most likely have a 1099 form for those sales. My question is, can i still use form 1040 or 1040EZ for federal? If so, where do i report the 1099 online earnings? If not, what form will i need to use? Of course, there will be many deductions such as shipping, supplies, phone, internet costs etc.... Where do those deductions get listed? Do i need a separate form for deductions? Further, do i need to mail in the deduction receipts with my return or do i just keep them on file on my end? And what about state reporting? I live in NY - how do i report this additional income for state returns? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
