At the end of each month, I run a paypal report for payments received. I add up my receipts and compare that to my payments received and then try to hide the evidence from my wife so she doesn't find out I'm spending $1,000 more per month than I'm taking in
.
The IRS is more than welcome to know I'm losing $1,000 a month on what they've determined to be a "business." I look forward to that write-off on my Schedule C next year.
