Deductions & credits

Since you made a profit of $300, this needs to be reported on Schedule D.

 

Here's how to report this in TurboTax Online:

  • Within your tax return go to the magnifying glass icon on the top right, type 1099-K and select the Jump to 1099-K link in the search results
  • Choose Add a 1099-K
  • The next screen will ask "Which type of income your 1099-K is for?" choose Personal item sales, then Continue
  • Enter the information from your 1099-K
  • After you choose continue, the next screen will show "Personal Item Sales". Choose "Some items were sold at a loss or had no gain", and enter $0.

Now, TurboTax will automatically create a placeholder in investment income.

 

  • After completing the 1099-K entry, next navigate to Federal > Wages & Income > Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto) > Add/Edit
  • Select the ticket sales broker that automatically populated
  • Under proceeds, you will enter the proceeds from the 1099-K ($8,000)
  • You will enter the total amount paid, which is your cost of the tickets ($7,700)
  •  Continue on and you will be asked if you paid "sales expenses that aren't included in the sale proceeds reported on the form", here you can deduct any related fees.
