I assume that you sold your used camera lenses for less than the price you paid for them.
If you sell personal property at a loss (i.e. for less than what you paid for them), there is a loss and loss on personal property is not tax deductible. There is nothing to report on your tax return. Just your forms 1099-K in your tax records.
If you sold them at a profit, please comment back and I will guide you further.
Thanks for commenting. I did not make a profit. I lost money on them but I needed the money to pay bills more than the lenses at the time. I'm concerned about just not filing them at all, because they are over $600 they are reported to the state of Massachusetts.
Yes, Massachusetts and a few other states have lowered the threshold for reporting income from PayPal on a 1099-K. The Massachusetts State Tax website says that if the income on the form did not meet the federal threshold of $20,000, then the 1099-K only needs to be reported to Massachusetts and not included with the IRS return. There is a separate link to MassTaxConnect as shown in the link in the paragraph Submission of Forms 1099-K to DOR using combined Federal/State Filing Program. Massachusetts 1099-K Submission
The FAQ section of the same web page has a section "Since I received a Form 1099-K, does that mean I owe tax?" FAQ 1099-k Massachusetts Number 2 addresses selling personal items at a loss while downsizing.
