Enter your gross sales, retail sales, on line 1, where it says gross reciepts or sales.  Then figure the cost to you of what you sold, less returns. and thats your gross profit.  Then figure your other expenses in the next section.  Since, I believe Avon reps buy from the company only what the customers order, you didnt have an inventory.

You have to report the income you earn. In  the US you will need to file a Schedule C with your return - this is a form about profit and loss. Remeber that you can deduct mileage and expenses that are not reimbursed.\n\nI've been mystery shopping for 6 years.

If you settled with the credit card company for a lower amount then what you owed they should send you a 1099C for the difference between what you owed and what you paid.  This amount is income and is included on Line 21, Form 1040.

For tax reporting purposes this can be a large number of things.  Comission, rents, subcontract work.  If you earn this type of income you will most likely have to submit a 1099 and pay your own taxes on it at the end of the year as the payer will not deduct taxes from it.  For more info, check out the IRS site and look at info on Form 1099 or information returns.

Your employer is REQUIRED by law to social security and medicare taxes.  They are also responsible for their portion of the social security and medicare taxes.\n\nYour taxes, if you received a 1099, could be over 40%!  You would be responsible for the 15.4% self-employment tax, plus your ordinary income tax rate.  That's not a good proposal.

A rule of thumb for this type of business is 50 - 60% of annual sales plus inventory, or 1.5 times seller's discretionary earnings plus inventory.  Seller's discretionary earnings are the earnings of a business prior to income taxes, nonrecurring income and expenses, nonoperating income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and owner's total compensation for one owner/operator.

IRS encourages everyone to prepare their taxes that is most advantageous to them. First are you an employee (W-2) or contractor (1099s for each job) Do you file a Schedule C? or not. As an employee do these deductions surpass your standard deduction on the 1040? If you have the paperwork to support your claim the deduction, go for it....If you file a Schedule C yes you should take them.

Let me ask you a question. If I could show you something that made absolute total sense, where you didn't have to stock, sell or deliver products to your friends, there was a fully refundable membership fee that you couldn't loose; yet; you could add an additional $20-30,000 to your income this year with many people reaching a six to seven figure income, if it wasn't Amway or any multi-level scheme... would you spend 30-40 minutes with me and have a look? Contact me through my 360 page and I will show you. Here is the tax info I use.

I once sold Avon. However, Avon is very strict when it comes to selling their products on line.\n\nYou would think that they don't care what you do, as far as, advertising on-line to increase your sales. The more sales you make, the more money you put in their pockets, as well as yours. \nMy husband is a web developer/marketing guru; if I may add he's very good at what he does. My point in telling you this, I was told I couldn't create my own website. I definitely couldn't use keywords or advertising on any of the major search engines to bring customers to my site. Without keywords, or submitting my site to any search engines would be worthless. Without any of those, it's impossible to bring targeted traffic to your site (those looking for the exact products you have to sell); not alone no one knows you exist.\n\nI was told I'll have to use their worthless website they have for Avon consultants which I believe is $19 a month (a while ago) but that's the only way I'll be able to sell my products on-line without breach of contract. For whatever reason, I was told they want to make it fair for the other consultants (BS). Well, it's not my fault they don't have marketing experience on-line for increasing on-line sales.\n\nThe best way to increase you sales in to target people that have purchased Avon, or similar products in the past. Those you would want to target has a credit card, shops on-line. Perhaps then you can subscribe to Avon website and direct them to the website by typing in your consultant number. Give them an incentive to type your consultant number in. By giving them 5% off their purchase price or free lipstick or something. That way you can make sure you receive the credit you've work so hard to get. The way you'll go about getting a list of people, would be to purchase a list from companies that provide information. You tell them what specific information you want, and they deliver. Shop around, talk to people that have actually used a list of varies companies. You can email me if you really want the name of a company we use. I apologize, I don't have the information near me (company).\n\nDirect mail marketing works! Just remember to mail to your people on the list at least 3 times, you get a better response the 2nd and 3rd when mailing. Best way to go about it is to send postcard, you can get 4 postcards to a page, and it cost .24cents to mail the postcards. If you'll not able to purchase a list, just try holding parties in your home or friends, once again, give incentives for those attend and let them know why they need attend.\n\nI would recommend you call Avon Customer Support for starters, perhaps they have changed their strict rules.\n\nI hope this helps.\nPlease let me know how things work out for you!

Enter the account that you use to track discounts you give to customers. You can use either an expense account or an income account. When an income account tracks discounts on sales, the account is often called a "contra-income" account.\n\nSelect the tax code for this item.

I dont know what the state form is but for federal I think you give them a 1099.  You should ask an accounting professional to be sure.

For taxes, use form 4797.  It will be taxed as ordinary income (not a capital gain since it was held less than one year).  You won't be able to take section 179 (or any other depreciation) on this asset since it was held for less than one year.\n\nAs for the finanicals, I would recommend gain on sale of assets or some other type of miscellaneous income category.
