Gross income from a not-for-profit activity includes the total of all gains from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of property, and all other gross receipts derived from the activity. Gross income from the activity also includes capital gains and rents received for the use of property that is held in connection with the activity. You can determine gross income from any not-for-profit activity by subtracting the cost of goods sold from your gross receipts. However, if you determine gross income by subtracting cost of goods sold from gross receipts, you must do so consistently, and in a manner that follows generally accepted methods of accounting.
Limit on Deductions
You can no longer claim any miscellaneous itemized deductions. Miscellaneous itemized deductions are those
deductions that would have been subject to the
2%-of-adjusted-gross-income limitation. You
can still claim certain expenses as itemized deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040).
Deductions you can take for personal as well as
for business activities are allowed in full. For individuals, all nonbusiness deductions, such as
those for home mortgage interest, and taxes may also be deducted. Deduct
them on the appropriate lines of Schedule A
(Form 1040).
