This may be of interest to some...

if you have your original receipts and then sold some used audio equipment this is all much about nothing; pull together a spreadsheet , include the info on form 8949 , show presumably no gain since it is used equipment  and you're all done. Brief amount of extra work and no tax paid

Remember, reporting it or not, there is no tax if there is no gain.

Most of us sell used items for less than we paid.

Wasn't it the Greeks who, about two thousand years ago, discovered that democracies only work when everyone contributes and pitches in? They had a word for those who reused to...idiota. They need to add scelestus as well.

All the best,

Let’s all look at the bright side, guys. Those who sold a lot this year and were expecting to pay a tax just got a nice Christmas present!

Happy Holidays all!
