Well, if I were to get audited because I was classified wrong I have everything to back me up from Income to Outgo. So while its nerve wracking to wonder if I might since I'm just starting out, I feel confident in the fact I reported the income and I can back it up. I asked him if any other ppl had ever claimed scrapping and he said not any of his clients so you know there are folks out there that are dishonest.



Maybe this should be a lesson for all Tax preparation companies AND the IRS to come up with either better classifications for scrappers to save headaches all around. Because it doesn't fall under the ''Hobby'' category either. If they want to pick on me because I did report it I'm not worried, I'll roll my eyes and think to myself ''Seriously??'' the whole time while smiling and handing over receipts.
