But, since you're not getting back 100% of what you paid you're still taking a loss right? Can't wait to hear from someone who knows. |

My hubby is a tax accountant. There are no tax implications. Since you are not getting 100% back - you can write that off as a loss.

But should you even report that you received money back? I mean, what if you have already taken a loss for the past year, and the money is from part of that past year. Wouldn't you be taking a loss twice? Does that make sense?    spider |

It was suggested to me to treat it as a sale to a customer and the numbers seemed to work out for me. I had a hard time wrapping my brain around it in the beginning, but after I thought about it, it made perfect sense to just fill out a sales slip, because I was "selling it back to MK". So you treat it as a sale.

FreefromMK: I guess you just have to think about it as it's a sale, which you are doing. You're selling it to a customer (MK) and they are paying you 90pct of what you paid originally plus tax, so you just fill out a sales slip after you receive your refund check. Then when you add up all of you sales, vs. expenses etc, it all works out. Trust me, I had a hell of a time getting the numbers to work until someone told me to do it that way and after I thought about it, it made ALL the sense in the world that yes, I was selling MKC the product. Right? It all worked out for me and it was basically a wash. I did end up owing IRS a very small amount for what I "earned" -lolol- because I didn't bother trying to take any mileage deductions or any other expenses except for section II stuff. I was glad to be done with it and it was close enough for me and not crazy enough to even draw any red flags. I didn't dare try to do too many expenses. I felt like it was my monetary lesson (slap on the wrists) for having been so stupid to get in this MLM to begin with :-)

Good luck :-) It certainly was very logical and a DUH moment for me :-) I had to think real hard about that one, ended up emailing a couple of other gals who had returned their products to see how they did it.......I don't always think as logically as I should. Maybe I was still in that pink haze ;-)

I can't see why you would owe the IRS anything! You made NO profit! It is all a loss if you sold at 90% back to MKC. Everything would be a loss, and if you include the section 2 stuff, which you can not return, but IS a tax deduction, then you should be at a loss no matter what!
