The thing is a lot of people see filing this as SE is automatically worse because of the additional taxes you will owe. Depending on how you did this throughout the tax year, you can take full advantage of deductions that you would not have access to if this is claimed as a hobby income. Sometimes you need to be creative and looks for possible ways to work things that would reduce you tax liability, but regardless, it has to be part of a plan. And I would not know all the different ways to do this, I would need to hire an expert. For instance, one thing I have been thinking about are the ETV prices, and how many listings have either discounts or coupons. Some say that coupons or discount do not apply to an items FMV, that those discounts are not available to everyone. But I believe you can make compare it to similar products for finding it's fair market value. Amazon has never been the cheapest option, it's just the fattest option.
