There is no profit. All items that are received are used to write a review of said item. The item is then considered a used product and value is reduced between 40% to 90% in approximation. If you go to a garage sale, think of it that way. The fact is, you are not able to resell for 6 months per contract with amazon. You cannot return the item. They don't want you to in general because it cost more to have something returned than to sell it. If you will not, cannot sell the item for a value. Contractually and even if you could, after use it's value is depreciated, to a detriment. What is this considered? I have yet to find anyone willing or able to explain this. IT is not income. Since Amazon CHARGES LLCs and small businesses to enroll in this program and to fulfill this program, the taxable income should fall their way. They chose to not do this but that is their choice. It isn't mandatory to be apart of this program. IT isn't income and IF I were to pay to use services from Inuit TURBOTAX. I would expect an answer with confidence that they are going to BACK once the audit comes. You have somewhere around 20k to 50k. Estimation based on websites with groups for only Vine members. Subtracting 20% for duplicate subscriptions. That's just what I've seen doing research to figure this out. Give an answer that can be backed up come the audit of the 50k people or so. I pay for turbotax and I will be happy to go somewhere else and make sure I use the fact that you cannot give an answer that isn't short for, I am playing it safe because I have no clue. Then when it comes to the audit you leave us high and dry.
