1099-K: Selling of Concert Tickets

[grayslake_07]

I purchased concert tickets in August 2023. Sold the tickets on StubHub in May 2024 but didn't receive the money for the tickets until after the concert in November 2024. TurboTax is asking for the Sold or Dispose of Date, which date should I use (the date sold on StubHub, the concert date or the date I received the money). I receive a better tax outcome if I had the item for more than a year but I want to use the correct date.

Use the date you received the money - you held the tickets (the investment) for over a year, so you should get the better long-term capital gain treatment.
