I knew some jidiot was going to come up with this one.
Taxes is taxes, no matter where they go. They come out of my bank account.
I don't have a problem paying taxes. I have a problem paying taxes on such a low income COMBINED with having to do all the paperwork on such a low income.
Prior, I wouldn't have to claim my pittance of an income because it wouldn't be reported. Now I'm going to have to go through all the paperwork of doing it.
With a documented job for such a pittance of an income, I had to do very little paperwork. I could do EZ 1-page and be done with it. I didn't have to make sure I dotted all the i's & cross all the t's. It was usually just 10 boxes or less to fill out.
For an average income of $50/month, it's not worth it. Everyone who resells on platforms KNOW how little income can be gained from it. This is garage sale income we're talking about.
It's absolutely ludicrous. And you didn't address the hypocrisy of it all. THAT'S the biggest complaint we have about this. Ritchie sends her cash overseas and sets up non-profits so they can donate to their own organization, they skirt the income laws . . . . yet the gov doesn't go after them people. There's hundreds of thousands to be made on the rich hiding their assets. But they're coming after us yard salers.
That last part is the straw that breaks this camel's back.
Address that, not anything else.
I've found a FB group that specializes in one of my main products. I'm going that route. Hopefully there's some people who'll be willing to pay in check or money order on that site.
We'll see. I don't know why you're not mad about the hypocrisy of it all. It makes me wonder about people like you.
