Which would constitute wether you make a profit or not. If your expenses exceed your sales, then your non profitable. If you are doing it as a hobby that's where your expenses stop, bring you to 0. If you are a business, then the expenses beyond that go into the negative and become a part of your tax return hope this makes sense...
Ah I see where you are going. I can see where that would be beneficial. My cousin does my taxes for me, so I will ask her about it
