I sold items for a family member on eBay. I paid them a percentage of the money I collected. What do I send them to reduce the amount of money I will pay taxes on?

[TS-J]

In 2017, I sold items on eBay that a family member owned.  I received all the payments on PayPal.  The items I sold totaled approximately $60,000.  I sent my family member the proceeds from the sales --- after subtracting costs like: fees I paid PayPal and eBay, my commission, and USPS and shipping material costs.

What (form) do I need to send my family member for the money I sent them?  Is there anything else I need to do?

Thank you,
Tim

You would need to send the family member a 1099.  You will need to upgrade to TurboTax Self-Employed to do that.  As you walk through the Self-Employment section, you will come to a question asking if you need to issue a 1099 to anyone. If you answer yes, TurboTax will walk you through preparing the 1099 and you will also enter it on your return as a deduction to your income.
