Huh? What are you talking about? What did you just sell in ebay to remove your already existing tax obligation? Didn't you just sold all the miners in 2017 that's why you have a tax obligation now? You wouldn't even have local sales and compensating tax if you didn't sell anything coming from abroad. Or you are talking about some of the miners you are still selling now? If that's what you are talking about you just made your tax obligation bigger because you have sold another miner online, it doesn't really mitigate anything at all.

Hey, I guess there's a miscommunication here, so let me be explicit.

In 2017, I purchased a large number of cryptocurrency mining machines directly from Bitmain, shipped to NYC. Many of these were purchased months or weeks before I would actually receive them. They were all then received in NYC to my relative's personal home, and then shipped out to customers all around the world.

And yeah, 99% of these were sold on eBay, so I have good records of everything going on.

Does that help?

If it means anything, I do everything personally and have not incorporated, or have any official business.

Yeah, you did clarify a lot of things on your current situation and the way I understand it is you still need to pay the taxes you owe because they are valid. The way I see it is you or your family acted out as a reseller of the mining equipment after you have received it from shipping, you never used the mining rigs personally so you are in fact just reselling items that came from abroad that is why you have a local sales and compensating tax from the State of New York. Selling it all now doesn't extinguish your tax obligations because the tax itself is about you reselling the mining equipment you have. What you did now just make your tax obligation bigger because you continued on selling them after the letter.
