It will be nice not to worry about a "profit" any longer, at least in the short term.

The key -



"What does this mean for artists as a whole? Well, for those artists who are truly engaging in a business with the intention of making a profit, whether or not you in fact can show a profit at the end of the day is not the ultimate question. Rather, the tax courts will examine a number of factors, including the manner in which you conduct your business activity, the time and effort you put into it, the expectation of appreciation in value for your art, your history of income or losses, and the amount of occasional profits you receive for your art, among other factors."
