Get your taxes done using TurboTax
This is NOT correct TT: Per the IRS website, all income reported on a 1099-K must be reported:
"No matter the amount of reported payments, if you receive payments for selling goods or services, you must report all income on your tax return."
AND:
Personal items sold at a loss
A loss on the sale of a personal item can't be deducted from your taxes. But you can zero out the reported gross income so you don't pay taxes on it.
If you sold items at a loss, which means you sold the items for less than you paid, there is no tax liability. You have 2 options to report the loss:
- Report the payment on your tax return at the top of Schedule 1 (Form 1040) PDF. This will ensure you don’t pay taxes you don't owe; or
- Report the loss on Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets, which carries to Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses.
This is dangerous telling folks that they do not have to enter the form. That is simple untrue.
