Nobody likes to pay taxes because it takes out a big chunk of our overall income, and it is just a hassle sometimes. In the case where you are a private seller who happens to sell your used car to another person, you'll probably receive cash from the transaction. Since you received a cash balance from the buyer, that is seen as income you earned over the course the year. This would make the income you earned as taxable.
