I have been claiming it as straight revenue. seeing this makes me wonder whether it might be better to claim as capital gains

Aside from capital gains being around 10% cheaper than personal tax.
Also matters how the site was structured as a business. Did you keep it as a sole proprietor and partnership, or was it in the form of a corp. Since they are taxed with different terms in regard to capital gains.
PS since I actually do appreciate business topics on here (lolz aside).
When you sell a sole proprietorship you are supposed to attach form 8594, asset acquisition statement to your filings. (had to ask my father in law what it was, he also mentioned a lot more - until I just explained it was a general question and we were not selling one.)Comment

For capital gains, it would have had to be owned for over a year before being sold, right? Or is there a short-term capital gains that works with website sales? Presumably if you buy websites with the intent of reselling them for profit and most of your sales occur inside a year, they'd be considered inventory and not investments, right?Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads?

I'm still not sure about itFor capital gains, it would have had to be owned for over a year before being sold, right? Or is there a short-term capital gains that works with website sales? Presumably if you buy websites with the intent of reselling them for profit and most of your sales occur inside a year, they'd be considered inventory and not investments, right?
it doesn't seem to make sense to me that if I buy a domain for $10 and build a site on it and sell it for $1000 6 months later that it would count as a capital gain....... that doesn't seem right to me. need some tax acct. advice

Capital gains you pay less in tax.
Only should claim under normal income if you are trying to pump up your annual income to buy a house, investment, whatever. So you look like you have more money, and pay more taxes accordingly.Comment

That part I am not sure of, and you would want to talk to an accountant.For capital gains, it would have had to be owned for over a year before being sold, right?

Most of the things I claim as capital gains I have owned more than a year, so I had never thought about it.Comment
