Ask an Accountant: Do You Claim Yard Sale Earnings?

by Dana Zeliff on December 27, 20112011-12-27
in Worth Reading

Thanks to Mom on Dealz for sharing her series, Ask an Accountant! Sharon is married to an experienced accountant. We’re heading back into tax season so get your tax questions answered from a professional.

See more Ask an Accountant posts to see if you’re tax question has been answered.

Question:
Do I have to claim money I make in a yard sale?

Answer:

Basically, the occasional garage sale does qualify for the exclusion from income due to the fact you normally sell your personal effects at a loss, and you can’t take a loss on this sale. In the event you sold something at a profit (highly unlikely, but could happen) you would have to report the gain 🙂

Please keep in mind this post is for informational purposes only and answers given are very general. Do not rely on this column for definite tax answers as many things depend on individual circumstances. Please contact your personal accountant or financial advisor for your particular situation.

Crockpot Applesauce Recipe

Homemade Applesauce
by Brianne from Just Trying To Save Money

You only need a few ingredients to make a great tasting homemade applesauce and the added benefit is your house will smell like an apple pie!!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Water
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Vanilla
8 – 10 Apples peeled, cored and cut into cubes

Directions:

 

    1. Turn your crock pot and on high and add water, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Peel and core your apples to get ready for the crock pot. Either slice or cut your apples into cubes and toss them into the pot!
    2. Mix all ingredients together in crock pot. Leave it covered on high for 3-4 hours.
    3. After 3-4 hours you will see your apples turn to mush and ready to smash into applesauce. Our girls like it a little chunky so I use a fork and mash the whole pieces of apple just a little to make it look more like applesauce. If you want a smoother applesauce you can use a mixer on low to get a better consistency. Since this is our first batch of homemade applesauce I only made 1 batch to see how it turned out. Since the whole family loved it, I think this will become a addition to our jar gifts that we make for Christmas gifts!

 Thanks, Just Trying To Save Money!
