Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are reporting IRS form 1099-K and reporting personal sales.  

 

Instead of box 1a being $1,000, presume that box 1a is $1,200 with $1,000 being the sales price and $200 being the sales fees charged by Ticketmaster.

 

If box 1a is $1,200 and I sold some items at a loss or had no gain was $600, $600 will be reported as Proceeds on IRS form 1099-B.

 

$200 is reported as I paid sales expenses....

 

The $600 is reported at the top of Schedule 1 Additional Income and Adjustments to Income.

 

 

Here are examples.

 

                       Selling           Cost

                       Price              Basis

 

T1                   $500              $1,000        Capital loss on personal item = $0 gain/loss

T2                   $400               $300          LT Capital gain on personal item = $100 gain

T3                   $0                   $0               ST Capital gain on personal item = $100 gain

T4                   $100               $100          No capital gain or loss              = $0 gain/loss

 

                        $1,000           $1,400

Fees                $200

 

Total                $1,200
