It's NOT a sale ... you already bought that stuff.
It's actually a business LOSS ... you can deduct the shipping, insurance, and the 10% you don't get back from any income yuo might have had.
Okay, bumping this up cause I just finished my taxes. Yes, it was a couple of days of hell, but here we are!
LG, you're right, it does reflect as a loss. But I ran mine through the cost of goods formula, beginning inventory from last year's return, then $0 inventory this year, and wrote my refund check as a sale. From there, it took it all as a loss, and for those of you who like me are super confused about this, it all came out okay, and my refund check was about 13K. So even though I thought I was going to take a big hit, it still came out as a loss because of the 10%. I can't remember who told me to write it as a sale, but it worked, so THANK YOU!
AND THANK GOD I'M FREE FROM MARY KAY!!!!!
