You purchased inventory for your business. If you didn't know you have a business and you are the sole proprietor, you have a Sch C. 

 

Things to know:

  • Generally, a flip is a short term holding
  • It is taxed as ordinary income and because it is from inventory for a business
  •  it is subject to self-employment tax on the gains, What is the self-employment tax?
  • You will deduct the cost of the inventory when sold along with the expenses to remodel

 

A flip is not a rental so good job asking.
