The posting of IRS form 1099-K for personal item sales is a two-step process.  

 

  • First, you post the IRS form 1099-K amount of box 1a.  In your case, the amount in box 1a is too high or includes some personal transactions reduces this number.  
  • Second, you post the IRS form 1099-B Proceeds  From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions to report the sales proceeds and the cost of sales.

Make sure that the amount reported on the IRS form 1099-K box 1a (less the box 1a which is too high) equals the Proceeds reported for the multiple entries of IRS form 1099-B.

 

If you are reporting dollars and cents and not rounding off, these numbers will have to balance to the penny.

 

I am unclear on the reference to shipping costs.  Are you saying that the amount reported on the IRS form 1099-B should be higher?
