I am having a problem with my seatgeek 1099-K entry process on turbotax. I get to the point where I enter the information from the 1099-K, but not sure how to proceed with subtracting revenue from tranactions with losses and on the profitable transactions, subtracting my costs associated with the tickets from the revenue.
My understanding of the rule is I only have to report ticket revenue where I sold at profit, the tickets I sell at a loss do not matter as they do not offset any profit.
My total revenue in box 1a is about $2669.00, this is already net of the Seat geek fee. In my case, About 1/6 of the revenue ($428.40) in 1099-K is revenue from sales at a loss. That leads $2240.60 of revenue from profitable sales. The cost of the tickets for these transactions are 1050.00, leaving a profit of 1190.60.
Fairly straight forward calculation, but the issue is how do I enter this?
The process for entering the 1099-K information only have a box that asks me for the sales that were at a loss. On a different thread regarding this subject, it mentioned using a 1099-B form to handle this. How do I do that? The system is not prompting me to enter it during the 1099-k process?
Thanks,
Greg

The 1099-K entry for personal items reports the amount on the 1099-K, then adjusts that number to the actual remaining gain. Then you edit the entry under Investments to report how much of the remaining proceeds is income from gains.
Open your return and choose to pick up where you left off (TurboTax Online).
Thank you Patricia, I will try this later today. Appreciate your help!
