How to enter income selling personal items with NO 1099-K

[kenk56]

I made a profit of ~$500 selling personal items on depop. This is over the reporting threshold, but not high enough to receive a 1099-K.  

What is the correct way to report this income?

To report this income from selling personal items you would enter it in the investment income section by selecting the following:

1. Federal
2. Income
3. Show More next to Investment Income
4. Start next to Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B) 
5. Select Other
6. Continue through and select personal property for the type of investment
7. Answer how you obtained it
8. You will need to enter the selling price, dates and the cost basis   

Note, your navigation sequence may be slightly different.  You can also use the Jump to feature by entering investment sale in the search bar at the top of the screen.

assuming these are casual sales  - you are not in the business of selling personal articles - these are capital transactions reported on form 8489/schedule D. If you sell for more than your cost basis, you have a capital gain. If you sell for less than your basis, you have a non-deductible loss.

I'm sorry. It says elsewhere that you list this all on schedule C as a business. Can you clarify?
