Yorkies and Taxes I have a question about taxes and yorkies. If you become a breeder are you required to report what you make from the puppies as income? My husband and I were talking about this last night and were curious. |
I am paying sales tax to the breeder on the puppy I am getting...I guess that would mean they are reporting it as income. I don't know anything about tax so that is just my guess. |
In certain states it is now required. We will pay taxes till we die...... :( |

LOL I have been working on Taxes all week! :eek: I can't wait for April 15th!!! :thumbup: I think you have too, but it depends on your State. You can call IRS :eek: but the only way they would know that your Breeding, is if you add taxes to your litters. So I'm really not sure, but I do know if you tax someone, the IRS will find out about it down the road. Good Luck to you, Sorry I wasn't a help. |
I doubt that anyone selling puppies from only one litter reports any income - But if you are really into breeding and raising and selling puppies, it should be reported as income --- along with all the expenses that you can document. In the end, not much tax should have to be paid - and often people end up with a loss. If you do report raising Yorkies as a business - keep every receipt imaginable. Food, grooming, vet, toys, beds, advertising, (gas milage to shop and care for your dogs).. and on and on and on. Good luck! Carol Jean |
Yes, you would definitely have to report your income. Of course, you could write off all your expenses too! |
This was just something to think about for those who are wanting to get into breeding. I know that I wouldn't be that serious into making it my business more like a hobby and only for two litters. Thank you for all your input on this question. |
Only two litters would probably be considered a hobby. But ---remember there is a large section in the IRS booklet describing the difference between hobbies and businesses. I guess a lot of people like to consider some things hobbies ---that the IRS considers a business. Anyway - if any of you need to check these regulations - they are fairly easy to understand.
