Look...the kid is averaging $80 a week...x 52...is $4 grand. Hardly the same as your very temporary lemonade stand.

Who's paying taxes on this income?? It cannot be construed as a hobby. She's been doing it for 2 years.

No matter if dimes or dollars, they're both a homemade product.

Are you sure you're on the correct forum? You want to tax a little girl because she sells cupcakes for a profit, while donating some to charities? BTW, you can always contact our so benevolent IRS to report her if you think she should be paying her "fair share".

Do you really not see how ridiculous you look? I'm done - rant on.

I made $4 grand mowing the neighbors' lawns with my parents' lawnmower.

Nobody paid tax on anything because whatever I earned had already been taxed once, twice or three times already.

Why do you care?
