However, you may still owe taxes if you made a profit on resold Taylor Swift tickets, experts say. While third-party payment apps won't report as many business transactions to the agency this year, you are still required to pay taxes on profits, including resold concert tickets. "The big thing this past year was selling Taylor Swift concert tickets," said certified financial planner Tommy Lucas, an enrolled agent at Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo in Orlando, Florida. 'If you want to follow the law ... report it'Ticket profits have always been taxable, and this may affect those who resold Taylor Swift concert tickets this summer.

More than 100 people have reportedly been detained by the MAF and five by the AA, it added. The most recent fighting began when the AA reportedly attacked two border posts near the Maungdaw township, which is near the border with Bangladesh. Most humanitarian activities have been suspended due to the fighting and “virtually all roads and waterways” between Rakhine townships have been blocked, the statement read. Whole villages have been burned down by junta soldiers and schools, clinics and hospitals destroyed in the attacks.

Similarly large positions in January VIX options were opened on Wednesday and Thursday.
