Reply to "Will the IRS believe me??"

Thanks for the replies, I also did my own taxes starting this year, I started this ebay store in Jan. '08 so that I will have an income when I close my other business, I vend leather outerwear at motorcycle shows for the last few years and it's tough work. I have been reporting income for that business as I accept credit cards and have a traceable income and fear the worse! My tax accountant has never taken a use of home deduction, but I do claim vehicle use, phone , internet, websites, etc. and still remaining as a sole proprietor. Even though eBay and Paypal don't have to report 1099 until after 2010 they still have to comply with the IRS if asked to. Having an eBay store makes your business very visible, if you are getting emails from China to purchase wholesale, the IRS can find you also! I guess I'm chicken but it beats being fried chicken!
You can only cook so much of the books!
