Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You may not have gone through all the necessary steps before starting a review of your entries.  Exit out of the screen you are seeing and go back to your 1099-K entries.  Then follow these steps. 

 

  1. On the Your 1099-K Summary screen, select Done.
  2. From the Income Landing table, navigate to Investment topics, and select Start or Revisit for "Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B).
  3. Go to Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto) on the Income & Expenses screen. Select Edit/Add.
  4. On Your Investments and Savings Summary screen, you’ll see a line item for your 1099-K income. Select Edit or Review and enter the information for the first personal sale item.
  5. Be sure to select Personal Items under the What type of investment did you sell?
  6. The Cost or other basis amount should be the amount you originally paid for the item.
  7. Select Continue when you’re finished to go to the Review your Sales screen.
  8. If there was more than one personal item sale included in the 1099-K amount, select Add another sale to add each item.
  9. If not, you can Continue.

 

If you sold your personal item(s) for a loss, that loss cannot offset other income on your tax return like capital loss items (stocks).

 

If you sold your personal item(s) for a gain, then you’ll need to pay short or long term capital gains tax on it, depending on how long you held the item. This is why you should enter each item separately and not net them together.
