    Auction "Income"?

    Client had an auction to get rid of excess household items, netted a little over $600. Does this need to go on line 21 or since client probably got way less than what items were worth, does it even need to get listed as income?

    Reporting that income would probably be a first for the IRS.

    There is probably a net loss on the sale of the personal items and those kind of losses are not deductible!

      Whats next, reporting garage sales

      Whats next, reporting garage sales. I reside in a community where they host 2 major garage sales a year. I could just see the look on the homeowner if I handed him my card and said "you have reportable income", come see me : )

        Client had it listed on their income/deduction sheet so I just thought I'd ask. Thanks.

          Well, he was being forthright, but no reportable income unless he made a profit on something he sold.
