It sounds like you are doing online garage sales, selling personal property items (not business or hobby income).   In this case, you only need to report items you sold at a gain as you cannot deduct losses on personal property.   You probably don't have enough gains to generate a filing requirement.  

 

However, if you receive a 1099-K, you will need to report it for any items that generated a gain.   TurboTax can easily handle filing a tax return for any 1099-K you may receive.   

 

Personal Items Sold at Yard Sales  Only items you sell for more than the original price you paid have to be reported.
