I bought and sold some stocks (shares on Robinhood) and made some short term profit of $49. Do I pay taxes on that?
I bought and sold some stocks and made some short term profit of $49. Do I pay taxes on that?
Reason is if I want to add this income I need to take Premium plan of TurboTax and filing fees will increase to more than the money I actually made in Stocks. This doesn't make sense. :(
In other words: I made money in stocks so I can pay that profit money to file taxes of that income on turbotax...which make profit 0.

If you do not report it, the IRS will be looking for the 1099B and will send you a tax bill for the proceeds and assume no basis, so you do want to report it.

Do you still have to pay taxes even when you don't actually pull the money out of the stocks?

Even if you do not take the money out of the account you must report all the sales and pay the taxes on the profits.
