Business & farm

Are you running this as a Business? (Are you filing Schedule C?) 

If not, you would only report these sales as Personal Items, much like a garage sale. 

Personal items sold cannot generate a loss. 

If you are selling personal items and claiming a loss (only) the IRS will see this as a hobby and may disallow the losses. 

 

Retail Taxpayers use Cash Accounting.
