1099-K Guidance Needed

I received a 1099-K from ebay.  My total gross payments were under $3000 for 5 transactions.

 

The IRS delayed the shift to the lower limits of $600 for 2022 so the limits of $20,000 and 200 transactions still apply.  Does this mean I do not have to reflect the 1099-K when preparing my 2022 taxes since I am below the 2022 minimum limits? It would seem to or does the fact that ebay sent me a 1099-K mean I need to include it in my 2022 income calculation so things match up?

1099-K Guidance Needed

No, you still have to report the income. 

 

If this was business income then you would have to enter it under self-employment income on Schedule C:

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “self-employed” 
  3. Click on “Jump to self-employed”
  4. Answer the questions until the "Let's enter the income" screen and select "Form 1099-K"

 

Please see What is the self-employment tax?What self-employed expenses can I deduct? and What is Form 1099-K? for additional information.

 

 

If this was for the sale of a personal item then please see the instructions below.

Thanks.

 

This was from the sale of personal items, not as part of my business.
