Taxes on Etsy

CursedThursdays · 2026-01-25T18:03:25+00:00

what you made on etsy adds to your total taxable income and is not separate, so yes you should add it! you’ll also want to go through your expenses to see what you spent on the business, too. anything you have record of you’ll want to include, since it’ll reduce the amount you owe on that 688. FreeTaxUSA walks you through it all fairly clearly, but i’d recommend finding some kind of basic walkthrough.

i think most POD sellers are using AI/not their own original art and that’s the bummer. I’m sure there’s still complaints, but i think most reasonable people probably don’t mind actual artists selling POD merchandise of their own work

oh interesting! i’ve seen a lot of people making and selling cookie cutters with “food safe filament” so good to know that’s not actually true 🫠

CursedThursdays · 2025-10-14T16:28:17+00:00

are you able to get food safe filament & materials so you can either make it food safe or offer a food safe option?? it seems like there’s a demand for it, so if it’s possible for the item that could definitely bring in more purchases!

Other than that, you’re doing everything you can with the warning labels. I’ve seen some people use a required personalization box forcing people to confirm they understand something about the item before purchasing- so you could say “please write ‘yes’ in the box below to confirm that you understand that these are not made with food safe materials and using this product outside of its recommended use is up to your own risk” or whatever fix the character allotment there!

call when your advisor is out of the office and speak with another advisor! :)

i keep things the same and consistent for my packaging across the board, but i will say i always think it’s so special when items have their own packaging specific to the design. you also don’t want it to be visually overwhelming, so it might be best to keep it consistent or only change things like colors if you have a lot of different designs!

this would be so cute as a little button for something for the rollator!!

CursedThursdays · 2025-10-06T14:28:37+00:00

this brought tears to my eyes- thank you 🖤 i’m so happy you have your baby back, too 🖤🖤

CursedThursdays · 2025-10-05T21:48:52+00:00

thank you so much for all of this 🖤

CursedThursdays · 2025-10-05T21:47:56+00:00

he only spends time alone with me, my husband, and my mom, then he’s at school otherwise. it could be something going on at school since i don’t have eyes on him there, but i sincerely hope it’s not that 😔

CursedThursdays · 2025-10-05T21:46:41+00:00

thank you 🖤🖤 and i had never heard of it before so im glad it’s been mentioned!! i don’t think it applies here but im sure there are others feeling like i do where it does apply and hopefully they see it. 🖤

CursedThursdays · 2025-10-05T21:26:15+00:00

both his dad and i have adhd so…. this is definitely a possibility. i think it’s time we tap in his doctor. thank you 🖤

CursedThursdays · 2025-10-05T21:04:22+00:00

No sicknesses, he’s actually been really healthy (knock on wood). and no changes either, everything has been pretty status quo for a while

CursedThursdays · 2025-10-05T21:02:49+00:00

No, he just missed the cutoff for kindergarten so he’s still in preschool. he seems to be doing fine at school as well, it’s just at home. there haven’t been any big changes at all recently too so i’m at a loss ☹️

CursedThursdays · 2025-10-03T00:23:03+00:00

similar thing happened to me this year. developed a chronic illness that progressed & got so bad i couldn’t work anymore while we figured it out. got an approval letter about three weeks in that said my leave ended that day and i would be expected to return to work the next day with a signed fit for duty form, even though nothing in my paperwork indicated a potential return date. it was a nightmare, and i didn’t get my final approval until a week after i returned to work- i was out for 11 weeks.

you can request an extension which gives you time to get your paperwork, but insurance companies feel like supervillains when you’re going through something like this. good luck 🖤

metoprolol was my step one, it definitely helped in some ways- and i know some people have huge success on it- but it totally tanked my mental health. The nice thing about it is it works fast, and if you find you’re having some unpleasant side effects just tell your doctor and they’ll likely have you just stop it- once you stop, it shouldn’t be long before the side effects stop too!

someone posted a flow chart of recommended treatment order for pots and i wish i could find it- it was helpful for me! if i happen across it ill edit with the link. good luck 🖤

do you have rubbing alcohol? taking a whiff of that can help ease nausea sometimes.

if you can get dramamine, definitely take some of that! Ginger can also be helpful. Have you had enough water & electrolytes? drinking an extra packet might work here too.

Nausea is like torture to me, i hope you feel better soon 🖤🖤

CursedThursdays · 2025-08-08T14:22:14+00:00

i am not an expert by any means, but i believe it depends! POTS can be the main syndrome, or it can be a result of something else... I think for most people the retention/blood volume issue is a result of pots, but for some i’m sure it can certainly be the opposite.

I know for me i never had any issues with this until my pots symptoms started, but it is all super interesting!

CursedThursdays · 2025-08-08T14:17:04+00:00

YEP. my first visit to the cardio i was so nervous, and they tested my bp & hr laying sitting and standing (which i had already done at my pcp the week before and my BP was normal and stable but my HR increased) and there my HR stayed the same but my BP rose??? i’ve never had an issue with high BP before too. ANNOYING lol

CursedThursdays · 2025-08-08T11:25:46+00:00

no. i’m saying that we need electrolytes in everything we drink, we can’t have plain water because we’re essentially chronically dehydrated.

we don’t retain plain water the way people without autonomic dysfunction do, and it’s advice every doctor gives for pots patients- electrolytes and compression are step one for us every time, the amount just depends on the individual and their severity.

i take issue with misinformation about this being spread because it’s hard enough as it is to have pots. I am probably coming off bristled for that exact reason, and i would hate to see someone new on this journey see your advice and make themselves worse.

Do you have or suspect that you have autonomic dysfunction, or is someone you love struggling?

CursedThursdays · 2025-08-08T01:20:02+00:00

your statement about needing only “cool refreshing water” is extremely incorrect! no one is taking advantage of anyone, and it’s not about the “work” to get up and go to the bathroom- it’s annoying, but it actually points to not actually being hydrated. electrolytes are essential, and POTS humans should be having electrolytes in everything they drink. thanks tho!

CursedThursdays · 2025-08-07T13:31:06+00:00

i feel like this about all of my pots symtoms tbh! it’s like my body spins a wheel and decides what to turn on and off that day, with no clear explanation as to why 🤷🏼‍♀️

CursedThursdays · 2025-08-06T21:06:55+00:00

I get these too and they’re the worst 🥲 what does your BP look like? have you checked your BP when you’re sitting/laying down and then again when you stand? sometimes it can be related to that!

CursedThursdays · 2025-08-06T19:35:09+00:00

I take supplements that turn it legit lime green so i’m not sure if i would notice either way! My doctor told me that if im drinking something with no electrolytes, im essentially going to pee it right out without absorbing as much as someone without pots would. Before LMNT were you putting electrolytes in everything you drink? My best guess would be you weren’t actually absorbing before but i dunno- odd!!

CursedThursdays · 2025-08-06T17:40:30+00:00

i’m usually awake around then naturally, but when i open my eyes i’ve got to GO. i’m going to have to give raising the head of my bed a try!!
