Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It's important to determine which activity you are engaged in.  You either have a sale of investment or you have income from a business but not both for the sale of the same items.  If you believe you have a business then all of the income from the sales go on Schedule C, self employment.

 

The tax law would not uphold a capital gain transaction of investment property with expenses on a Schedule C for the same items. You are either conducting self employment or you are selling investment property or possibly a hobby.  It sounds more like you think you are considered self employed.  Just be sure to enter the income on Schedule C and not as investment income.
