What income sources from my various activities are taxable, and how should I report them on my tax return? Specifically, I earn income from purchasing items for companies at a profit, using discounted gift cards, cashback sites, selling miles, credit card cash rewards, and store mail-in rebates. Additionally, I have returned items to a store without receiving credit, and I am unsure how to handle this loss. Should I register as a business, and if so, what type? How much taxable income do I need to make to be required to file a tax return? Can my dad still claim me as a dependent if I am not required to file?
