Looks guys.., why start calling names.., I mean, does it make your stance any stronger..?? Frankly, this tread started out with the question of buying an aircraft and paying a tax. Both of you (and the other bystander) have moved the subject over to a discussion of an "income" tax, as apposed to a simple fee, licensing, and/or a property tax issue.., and you are correct..! However, the subject of whether an "individual", as opposed to a "business".., has a "liability" to pay a tax on the smiple purchase and operation of an aircraft is getting your balls in an uproar. True again, the 16th amendment (as ratified.., another subject?) does give congress the authority to levy and collect a tax on "incomes", but "income" in this case is NOT derived from the purchase or ownership of an aircraft..., unless it is used in a business..!! Oh, and by the way, I have a copy of the incorporation papers for the IRS in the state of Delaware in front of me as I write (smile) which gives it some authority to act as an "agency" with limited powers to collect taxes with regards to alcohol, tobacco, and firearms since it's realignment with the DEA, BATF some years ago. Please keep searching the IRS code for the definition of "income"..!! Now.., back to the subject 45 treads back..., and no name calling..!! Yes, the income isn't derived from using the airplane, but when you sell it, you may well generate income in the form of a capital gain. Matt |

Thanks Matt for a decent question. The best way to answer is to remind you
an aircraft, when bought, sold, or held by an individual "person" is NOT deemed "real property" per se.., as others would have you believe, and therefore is not automatically seen as a "gain", simply because at that stage it is "personal property", not real property unless (and here we go again), the aircraft is brought, held, or used in the course of a business, or part of some inventory for sale. It is "business activities".., NOT individual purchases that generate "income" (as defined) through their business P/L statements, which make these businesses "libel" to pay a tax (after assessment)..! So now, back to the "individual" as a "tax payer"..!! The IRS code (surprisingly enough) nowhere "defines" income to the individual as having an "income." Then here is the sticky point with the tax guys, as everybody has bought into the "idea" (not in the code) that an individual is a "person" with a liability or duty to pay a tax on income "before" having been properly accessed!! This one question is the very one the IRS has yet to ever supply me with an answer for. Every time they have mailed me a "Notice of Deficiency" I have simply asked them for the date, and by whom I was accessed the amount of deficiency..!! It has never gone beyond this stage for lo these past 22 years..!! Now, call me an idiot, a liar, or whatever.., but do the research..!! We should all just go about our "business", and if the IRS comes to you.., then just ask as by "law" they must answer you..!! Worst case matter is.., if you think you might owe some money.., then hold it aside in a saving account drawing interest and pay them later.., AFTER they have proved that you are the "person" that owes the tax to begin with. They can't fine you, or add penalties and interest as long as you respond to their notice in a "timely manner", and they know it..!! |

I don't know what you said here, probably because your return key is broken on your keyboard. In any case, from the instructions for Schedule D: "Generally, gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset held for personal use is a capital gain." "A capital asset is any property held by you except..." (What follows doesn't include an airplane held by an individual for personal use.) - Don If you're faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible. - Bob Hoover |

Your right.., these posts don't always comply with accepted syntax and
punctuation. Well, we can't keep beating this subject to death.., I say any "asset" only apply to "business" activities, and I understand you guys say individual also can have "assets" for tax purposes. SOoo, maybe I owe for the past 22 years.., but the IRS has never told me so yet, or "accessed" my "assets" yet..!! Good old Bob Hoover.., now was that a left wing-roll, or a right wing-over at 500 feet..?? Okay.., it's the old black boot on the silver peddle for me.., maybe we'll live to fight another day..!! |

It really doesn't matter what we say, it is the IRS that matters and they pretty clearly say that personal assets are taxable if they yield a capital gain when sold. This is one of the more clear things that the IRS says. :-) Matt |

But personal losses aren't deductible, right?
![]() So, if your neighbor needs a hoe and you have one you bought at a garage sale for $1.00 and he gives you $5.00 for it do you report a $4.00 gain on the sale?

Should you: yes. Will you: probably not.

I haven't checked this lately as I haven't had the need, but I haven't heard of this being changed. So, if your neighbor needs a hoe and you have one you bought at a garage sale for $1.00 and he gives you $5.00 for it do you report a $4.00 gain on the sale? Again, I'm not sure, but I believe there are tests as to what is a capital asset and what isn't. At work, we only have to count things as capital assets if they have a value of $3000 or more and a useful life of greater than 1 year. A hoe should last more than a year, but wouldn't meet the dollar test. I'm not sure if similar rules apply for "personal" assets, but I suspect something similar applies. Matt |
