1099-K from PayPal (tax form)


It looks like I am getting a 1099-k form from PayPal for the first time. I sold a lot of audio items last year, used, while upgrading my system and swapping things around. Obviously I am not a business, not in this for profit, and did not make money, lost money. It’s just a hobby, a costly one.

I am guessing I have to report this with my taxes. However, the form only has the gross proceeds from PayPal, not my original purchase price. How do I deal with this? Any particular section on Turbo Tax to enter these?

In that case: you’re paying the state's, "lawmakers" not to lock you up for, "Possession".       They’ll pocket MUCH more, that way (all they really care about).                                                             Enjoy the buzz and count your blessings!

Can we please, please stay on topic?

@rodman99999  —- can you please elaborate? I am definitely a business, not doing this for profit, I am losing money.

It has to be something else. Maybe a “hobby” thing, section, on TT, or something else. I cannot possibly see how I will have to pay taxes on something I did not make money from.
@thyname,

I would consult a tax attorney. I just researched and it appears 1099-K is intended for folks in business or self-employed, 

“Form 1099-K, Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions, is an IRS information return used to report certain payment transactions to improve voluntary tax compliance.  You should receive Form 1099-K by January 31st if, in the prior calendar year, you received payments:
  • from payment card transactions (e.g., debit, credit or stored-value cards), and/or
  • in settlement of third-party payment network transactions above the minimum reporting thresholds of –
    • gross payments that exceed $20,000, AND
    • more than 200 such transactions”

I have been buying n selling audio gear through PayPal for years and never seen a 1099-K form.
