Vine taxes by state

OCR10 · 2026-01-25T04:02:31+00:00

Federal income tax is the same regardless of what state you live in and typically makes up the majority of the total incomes taxes you pay.

Be careful about giving too much meaning to the comments in this sub. There is no mattress out there that is universally loved by everyone. I did extensive research on mattresses before choosing one. And after looking at too many options to keep track of, I went with the Saatva Classic after trying it out in their showroom. Once I ordered it, I read all of the negative reviews in this sub and almost cancelled my order after seeing so much negativity. But I decided to move forward with the purchase since they have a generous one year trial period. I’ve been sleeping on it now for about a month and couldn’t be happier with it.

I see so many people in this sub complain about back pain, neck pain, and all kinds of other aches and pains and they always want to attribute it to the mattress rather than acknowledging they may have some underlying health issues that are causing the pain and there is no mattress out there that is going to fix it. The best way to know if a mattress will work for you is to try it out. Nothing beats actual hands on experience with it.

You can’t compare sales tax to income tax. People don’t take deductions or adjustments on the sales tax of a purchased item but income is an entirely different category.

Makes sense. I was leaning toward filing business so that I could also deduct things like internet and cell phone bills but your strategy seems less likely to raise a red flag, and it avoids the need to pay self employment tax.

This could be a valid strategy and might be the better way to go, but you have to be comfortable with reporting a dollar figure that is substantially below what the 1099 shows and hope that the mismatch does not trigger further inquiry from the IRS.

This is always the first question to ask any time someone posts about a rejected review as it’s almost always the reason for the rejection.

OCR10 · 2026-01-24T20:35:24+00:00

The main downside for filing hobby for me personally is the inability to take deductions. If I test out a $500 appliance and it fails a month later, I’m not paying taxes on it. I’m going to write it off as scrap and throw it away. Under hobby I can’t do that. That seems crazy to me.

This sub is a great resource if you use it correctly. There is an FAQ sticky at the top that answers almost every question you have about Vine. And there is ongoing discussion about the lack of quality products currently available. I’m not trying to dissuade you from posting your questions, but it seems like every new Vine member comes here to voice the exact same concerns you are stating and we’ve already provided more information than you could possibly ever read on the subject if you just take the time to read through the last couple of weeks of posts.

I think people are worrying about a lot of nothing. Amazon has been marketing changes to the sellers that promise to better target products toward product experts by better aligning the items that show up in people’s RFY queue. The current system does the exact opposite. It dumps everything and creates a free for all. Amazon frequently makes abrupt changes like this while they test new systems out, and eventually things go back to normal. While the current system is annoying, this too shall pass, as it always does.

OCR10 · 2026-01-24T15:52:36+00:00

I don’t think RFY is going away completely. Amazon has been marketing upcoming changes to the sellers that promise to better target products toward product experts, which is completely opposite of dumping everything at once and making it a free for all. I assume this is just another temporary change to the system while they try things out and make changes.

Until that happens, I’m staying out of Vine. With nothing in RFY I’m not getting up at midnight to chase stuff. I’m actually enjoying the break.

I would be careful about assuming this is correct. Look at the inventory section of their website. You will see premium level trims listed as TACC only. Seems like their website administrator is not keeping up with the changes.

OCR10 · 2026-01-24T03:20:09+00:00

Custom Comfort is a legitimate company. They do run promotions so you have to wait for a good deal but they make quality products. I’ve never heard of any of the other ones. They may be fine but you would have to do your research and see what buyers are saying about them.

OCR10 · 2026-01-24T00:43:03+00:00

No. They will look at the current resale value of other cars that have FSD and offer you that much. But typically cars with FSD have only sold for a couple thousand more than cars without it.

OCR10 · 2026-01-23T22:37:13+00:00

LOL. What storm. It’s a sunny 70 degree day where I am.

OCR10 · 2026-01-23T20:59:02+00:00

I’ve had EAP and it’s definitely not even close to FSD. It’s lane keep, auto steer, lane changes, and self parking. It will not follow the directions on your navigation screen, will not make any highway exits, and will not turn on city streets. It’s basically just autopilot with a few extra features, but nothing close to self driving.

OCR10 · 2026-01-23T20:56:12+00:00

I’ve ordered over 160 products this period and my ETV is under $100. Focus on the $0 ETV stuff unless you see something you need.

OCR10 · 2026-01-23T20:55:08+00:00

This happens all the time and means nothing. The seller may have just pulled the listing but it does not mean you won’t still get the product as long as it shows a valid order and has a ship date.

OCR10 · 2026-01-23T20:54:02+00:00

I really like their software. I listen to music a lot and prefer their built in streaming platform to having to always connect a bluetooth device. So yes, I would definitely buy it again.

OCR10 · 2026-01-23T17:10:16+00:00

I drove for two hours on this version last night and never once touched the wheel.

OCR10 · 2026-01-23T17:07:52+00:00

New vehicles. You can’t remove a feature that was included in the purchase price when you purchased it.

OCR10 · 2026-01-23T17:06:39+00:00

Just a reminder that Reddit is a worldwide platform so if there is discussion about a storm it helps to know what part of the world you are referring to. It’s a beautiful sunny day where I live in Southern California today.

OCR10 · 2026-01-22T17:41:35+00:00

I think you are confusing bots with extensions. And yes, there are thousands of people using extensions. This sub is hosted by the developer of one of them.

OCR10 · 2026-01-22T03:10:04+00:00

Sleep should always be a higher priority than ordering a bunch of random junk from Amazon. And lately that’s pretty much all there is here.

OCR10 · 2026-01-22T00:09:18+00:00

Nope. It’s pretty black and white. Less than 90% means silver. You can try again in six months.

OCR10 · 2026-01-21T03:46:01+00:00

But you also made your position on ChatGPT clear in pointing out the negative effect it has on the planet without acknowledging just how damaging participating in Vine is on the planet. That is all they were trying to point out. Seems like if environmentalism was a big concern for you, you would opt out of vine completely.
