Hello,
I have sold lots of items on ebay this year and it is all my stuff for much lower than I paid for it.
I'm also selling my record collection on another site that works through PayPal payments. Both of these payment systems have a $600 cap before IRS reporting. I should have moved last year when it was $20K. 🙂
All of it has been for losses compared to original cost but I have no records of that.
How will I handle this for taxes? Is there a way you actually claim garage sale income for example that would be excluded from taxing?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
If you are basically selling like a large garage sale that income is not taxed.
Hope it's OK if I jump in here. If I sell items in a Facebook group set up specifically for the items that I am selling which I previously purchased for retail prices and the payment is made through PayPal, will I have to pay taxes on it? The items will be sold for much less than the retail prices that I paid. Thanks!!
Are you a tax professional? I thought this was ask a professional event.
I'm asking what to do on my taxes when I possibly get 1099s for making $25k from ebay and PayPal from selling all of my stuff. Hope the tax man/woman will ignore and just not claim it, and somehow they'll assume it was garage sale sales? Is there a way to claim it was garage sale or the source -like selling all personal items?
