Make big profit

I am planning to self-publish my book, am I required to pay sales taxes?

Now where on the tax returns do we report our losses? Also, do we need to include these copies with our return? Are there ’special’ forms that we need to fill out? Is form 4797 needed?

Hello there, I currently have some mututal funds that I would like to redeem inspite the fact that the money I have in the funds are far less than the money that I have put in. I estimated the loss would be around $5K - $6K. I just thought to take it out to put it in better use.
My question is, can I claim the loss on my tax return? I currently don’t own a house but am in the process of building one, which should be completed before the year end.
Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is there an accounting rule, definition or principal that says borrowed money cannot be treated as a profit? Please cite source. Thanks!
The important thing is a source for me to cite. It seems to make logical sense but I thought it was a basic accounting principle?!?

I have two properties owned by S-corps in which I am the sole shareholder. If 1 was to say loose $1,000 for the year and the other made $1,000 for the year when I file my personal will they offset eachother? In other words does a loss pass through as a loss or as a zero profit and therefore non-taxable?
