Did something change with the way inventory is calculated on your taxes in 2019?

[Quixote1818]

In the past when I plugged in the numbers my refund hardly changed but this year with the change in inventory about the same as last year my refund went to almost zero. I didn't realize this but I guess you can just ignore inventory if you sell less than a million dollars?

I am wondering if there is a glitch in the program this year?


Snip:

Although you are not required to report inventory if your receipts are 1 million or less as a Qualifying Taxpayer, the costs for what would otherwise be inventoriable items are considered to be NON-incidental materials and supplies to be listed on line 36 (purchases on Sch C).May 31, 2019

1. What tax refund?

...none of my multiple medical payouts for cancer treatment counts. Nothing counts. Charitable deductions....not enough. Donations don’t count. Nothing counts! Every year I make less and less and my refund dwindles down. Tired of being a hard working American that gets screwed every time I think I should be getting ahead.
