Retirement tax questions

The second screen that you encounter when you enter the IRS form 1099-K is titled Personal Item Sales.

 

There are two options on the screen:

 

  • I sold some items at a loss or had no gain, and
  • All items were sold at a loss or had no gain.

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.  
  • 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 equals the Proceeds reported for the multiple entries of IRS form 1099-B.
