Paying IRS from 0 Income

[penwright1029]

I was with Vine 2023 to November 2024 when I opted out.

My husband and I filed jointly.

We received a $29,200 standard deduction. This is way over the amount of income received by both of us in a year.

We receive SSA, SSI and SSDI as our main sources of income.

When our taxes were professionally filed, our income was shown as 0 on the 1040 form, line 10.

I was not selling the products, I received. I only am using them for personal use.

How can we be paying the IRS taxes with no actual income? I have it set up for them to take payments monthly.

Should I do a tax amend?

You probably received a 1099-NEC form containing your taxable income for your products. That income is subject to 15.3 percent of self employment tax even though you don’t have a regular income tax liability. 

You can avoid that tax if you consider that income a hobby by reporting it as other income instead of self employment income in the program.

Yes did you get a 1099NEC or a 1099K from Vine?  Did you enter it and  fill out schedule C for self employment income?
