Filing note

This calculator totals categories for planning. It does not determine deductibility, depreciation, home office rules, vehicle method, inventory accounting, or filing treatment.

What to track

Resellers usually need separate records for gross sales, returns, cost of goods sold, marketplace fees, postage, supplies, mileage, software, and other ordinary business costs. This calculator groups those totals before they go into tax software or a preparer workflow.

It does not decide whether an expense is deductible or where it belongs on your tax return. Use the IRS Schedule C instructions and a tax professional for filing decisions.
