Howdy boys...
Been busy working off the honey-do list...Kitchen ceiling is painted, lawn is mowed...and that damn oil leak on the boys CB750 has been identified...now I need to pull the motor (SUX).
So back to the "For Sale" discussion.
I don't sell guns on site. (Although once in a great while I will list a personal firearm for sale. If any one is interested in a low mileage 50's vintage Win 71 Standard or a BRAND NEW Merkel 20 bore boxlock let me know!)
Individuals list their guns for sale in my PUBLIC forum and I ask for...but do not insist upon a $10 donation per sale.
I pay our illustrious government income tax every year and the website has been included in that since it's inception. The site has expenses and income and often I do end up with a nominal annual profit mostly from the advertising and subscriptions I sell for the Double Gun Journal.
Any time a donation is made it is listed on my tax return as INCOME and I get to bend over and pay both the Fed's and the commie libs and felons in waiting currently running NY state.
I also have a NY sales tax registration...I pay albeit annually due to low numbers, both NY state sales and use tax for business related sales and purchases occurring in the great state of NY.
I even have an accountant so I don't have to screw with filing business taxes...they do it for me!
I used to do my own tax until the website came about...I hired a firm as to "hedge my bet" as I don't want or need any interface with any government agency.
So that's the scoop from my end...I am a dot com not a dot org and I get the bend over as I am not a Non-profit entity as defined by the IRS.
