I sell many items on ebay, close to 20 a months. All of this business is conducted under my friends ebay account. I have full permission to use his account, i even have it in writing. Although it is in his name i do all the work. The funds are then transferred into a bank account under my name. Your probably asking yourself why i use my friends ebay account and the answer is that my ebay account got suspended for a dumb reason but thats besides the point.

My question is i want to be able to file taxes for all the items i have sold but am not sure how to do so. I dont want my friend to have to pay any taxes, i want to take care of it all. What suggestions would you have?

Dont get the wrong idea im not running any type of scam/phony business, i am 100% legit, just my name is black listed from ebay.

The first thing I'd tell my friend is that he's committing a felony. Google "money service business". Once he is registered, then come back to us.
