Answer and Explanation:

1. When a tax payer engages in dog breeding activity for personal enjoyment also known as hobby rather than to make profit then the income in the form of fees and sales of $2,500 from dog breeding activity would be reported as “other income” on page one of Form 1040. The related expenses of $9,050 are not deductible as personal expenses as summarized below.

Particulars Amount Amount

Income from fees and sales $2,500

Expenses:

Dog food $4,000

Veterinary bills $3,500

Supplies $1,200

Publications and dues $350

Total deductible expenses $0

Taxable income from hobby $2,500

2. When the taxpayer is able to prove that the dog-breeding activity is a business then the related revenues and expenses of $2,500 and $9,050 respectively would be reported on Schedule C and is allowed to deduct the net loss from the dog breeding business of $6,550 ($2,500 − $9,050) while calculating adjusted gross income (AGI).
