the $800 was a rough figure.  Probably less. when  I bought the domain name 15 years ago, I had to pay godaddy for each year I own it. If I only had it less for a year then it would be considered a flip I guess and would be taxed as a short term capital gain.

 

Ive had a website on that domain for 15 years and had passive membership income. Each tax year I write off, cost for running it, servers its hosted on, software etc etc etc.  the last few years I have made less than what Im spending on it

 

I just wanted to make sure it wasnt taxed as some domain i just bought  for a total of $800 to flip it for 30k. It had a website connected to it that I used as my biz for 15 years

 

So I just sold the domain name and moved the site to a different url.

 

I followed the instructions given here in my turbo tax and it seems to be fine. I think, lol
