Net Income is $17,000

Explanation:

A sole proprietor is not taxed as a business entity but all the income and expenses should be reported on the income tax return. On schedule C all the details of profit and loss should be submitted with Form 1040.

Net profit calculation to report on Schedule C is as follow:

Net sales - $80,000

Cost of goods sold ($40,000)

Gross Income $40,000

Operating expenses ($20,000)

Operating Income $20,000

Employee payroll taxes ($3,000)

Net Income $17,000
