Your cost basis is the amount your contract on the car was originally. If that was over the amount you sold it for you will not have a gain-so no tax due.
sales tax is paid by purchaser not the seller. however, if after going off lease your purchase the vehicle, then in some states like Illinois, you will be required to pay sales tax on the purchase price with no credit for the sales tax you may have paid when you leased it.
Thank you for the reply. I am wondering if I will be charged income tax if I am able to sell it for more than the lease payoff amount of $10320. I will possibly make $1700 on the sale, and I am wondering how much income tax will be taken from that profit.
