"In the eyes of the IRS, it is a business when it is ran with for-profit motive. The test that is typically used to determine whether it is a hobby or a business is the level of profitability. If the business has been profitable (generated more income than expenses) for 3 out of the last 5 years, it is a business, and if in the current year taxpayer has a net loss when items of income are netted against expenses, that loss can be used to offset other income."
