1099 K

[Charles conde]

Hello,

I received a 1099-K from Ebay because I sold a few thousand dollars worth of action figures from my personal collection I had from 1998. Last year I was told to enter the amount of money i paid for shipping for 2021. I dont see where to enter the amount i paid for shipping last year.  Do i deduct the shipping i paid for last year? if so, how do i do that? ( i have the deluxe version)

Thank you

If you do not intend to earn income from these activities and it is sporadic income you will receive you need to enter your 1099-K and expenses related by following the steps below.  If you are intending to earn a profit and plan to continue these activities, the IRS will consider you self-employed and you will need to enter the 1099-K and expenses on a Schedule C.  See  Am I considered self-employed? for more information.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. On Step 13, the negative number would the amount in Box 1a from my 1099-K but negative ? and how would I type a negative number in my TurboTax?

[AliciaP1]

Step 13 is your original cost of the action figures you sold.  You can make the number negative my typing "-" in front of the number.
