They (the new regs you speak of) start in 2012, unless the provision is repealed. There are several bills presently in Congress that, if passed, will do just that.coolpix9 said:http://www.cmi-gold-silver.com/blog/new-1099-reporting/
I have been handed 1099 forms by several dealers. One said to fill it out and return it,the other said I was on my own(insert OUCH).
These new regs were hidden inside the ever-popular Obamacare.

When you file your taxes you need to record the full selling price and then subtract the shipping cost and cost basis to determine the net profits. You would not want to just record the net profits since it would not match with the 1099 being filed.
This is not tax advice but I did sleep at the Holiday Inn Express last night.

ex: buy 100$ in 40% halves for 950, resell for 1000, get check for the 1000 but have no proof you bought them for 950 because you bought from a random person straight cash? now what...
