- Scroll down to the last option, Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C and Start.
- Choose the last option, Other reportable income and Start and Yes.
- Enter the applicable description and amount and Continue.
- First, enter Form 1099-K as received. It is essential that the full amount be entered.
- For a description, include Form 1099-K and Personal Ticket Re-Sale.
- Next, enter an adjustment to reflect the cost of these items as an offsetting, negative amount up to the amount of the income.
- For the cost description, include Cost of Personal Ticket and Cancelled Personal Ticket Re-Sale due to Covid-19.
