It depends. Surprisingly, the 1099K is not the most appropriate to report this information but we will make best use of it.  To report this, follow these steps.

  1. Open or log into Turbo Tax
  2. Go to federal>wages and income>Investment Income>show more
  3. Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B>start
  4. If you are in Turbo Tax Online, there will be a question that asks  OK, what type of investments did you sell? indicate personal items other
  5. Next screen asks for the name of the issuer and EIN listed on the 1099K
  6. Next screen says Now we’ll walk you through entering your sale details.
  7. When you see the first drop-down, select personal items and then answer the remaining questions on this page. This will determine your capital gain or loss for the sale and will appear on Schedule D. 
  8. Make sure to enter the income amount listed on the 1099K as proceeds. 
  9. You will need to enter the cost basis and when you bought the personal item(s).
