How would I go about combining them as far as on the tax program? Wouldn't I still have to enter the 1099-K information from both eBay and Mercari to show that I did sell on both platforms? I'm confused because for each 1099-K entered, it prompts you to enter the beginning and ending inventory for both. I like what you are saying about combining them. It makes total sense,but I just don't understand how it would be entered on the tax program. Are you saying that when I'm entering my 1099-K information for eBay, I should add the gross wages for Mercari onto the eBay gross wages? Won't that throw a red flag when I go to enter the 1099-K information for Mercari? There are those schedules for each 1099-K. I thought that the IRS requires to see all of the schedules for each 1099-K. How do you bypass all of the required 1099-K schedules for Mercari to combine total income with eBay, especially since the IRS receives each 1099-K that shows the gross amounts. So if I added Mercari gross wages to the eBay gross wages, then the total gross amount in box one wouldn't then match what is shown in box one on my eBay 1099-K. It would obviously now be higher because I've added Mercari wages onto it. Seems like the only solution to easily combine the amounts is to not enter that I have another 1099-K from Mercari and use the 1099-K from eBay and then just add the Mercari wages onto the eBay, but I'm sure that's probably not the correct way to do it either, because aren't you required to enter the information from each 1099-K that you receive? Or or you saying that the IRS is only looking to verify the total income from both and that it would be okay not to enter Mercari 1099-K on the tax program as long as I take the gross wages and add them into the eBay 1099-K information? Sorry for the very lengthy reply. I'm just really trying to understand what to do. I appreciate your helpful answer. I just want to make sure that I enter everything correctly on the tax program.
