Depends... The IRS will always tell you yes.
Officially registering it as a business doesn't matter so much, as long as you pay taxes. There is a limit, if you make less than xxx sales per year, totaling less than xxx dollars, then it falls under a private sale. Similar to a garage sale.
If you have employees, its a totally different story.
