Are there any tax gurus on Hubski that can help me translate these two pages on Capital Gains?

To cut to the chase, my main questions are . . .
If I sell an ass ton of my personal property in 2018, and the wife and I don't make enough money to qualify for being taxed for personal gains, do I still report my sales?
If so, do all I have to do is keep the receipts?
If literally every last penny I get from selling turns around and goes to charitable organizations, does that add to or subtract from or change how I report things?
Will all of this activity trigger an audit? Not that I have anything to hide, because I'm always 100% honest and transparent on my taxes, but I'd like to save myself, my tax preparer, and the government a lot of hassle if possible.
