Wow! Thank you for such a thorough, quick, and kind answer! I really appreciate it!
If you are able to answer, I had one more clarification to number 4 I was hoping to ask about:
4. If the business was not all in the U.S. you will have to exclude the amounts that you shipped overseas. You could prorate the expenses and income.
RedBubble is a print on demand website - I uploaded a design to it and they handle all the printing, order details and shipping, and then they send me the small percentage I get for making the design. I am in the US, and I personally ship and print none of the products.
On their website I am able to download a spreadsheet that vaguely tells me where they shipped each order to, however they only pay me at certain thresholds accrued, so I would have to figure out which orders were with which payment I got from them. All the money I get goes to my paypal account from the website itself.
Would that make the situation:
a) Because I am in the US and did my design here and ship nothing, all the money comes from the US? (I check the box that says no business outside the US and do not fill in that extra blank?)
b) I find out how to parse the orders and just subtract the amount that went to buyers outside the us (I check the box that says I did business outside the US and then fill in that blank that appears with how much money I got from orders outside the US)
c) Because the company is based in Australia it seems, all of the money they paid me is considered outside the US (I check the box that says I did business outside the US and fill in the total amount from RedBubble inside that box)
Thank you again for any help! The international nature of the internet has made this all rather confusing!
