Some payers choose to issue Form 1099-K to everyone, regardless of the amount. You're required to report all of your income, even if it's below the threshold.
Do I report each separately or combine them?
Separately. How you report them depends on why you received the income. Some may not be taxable, some may be self-employment. See this TurboTax FAQ that explains the different types and how to enter them.
Why did I receive a 1099-K even though it's below the IRS threshold?
All involved ticket sales through either Ticketmaster or SeatGeek
Yes, you enter each Form 1099-K you receive into the TurboTax software, adjust if necessary, and allocate to the proper income section.
I assume you sell the tickets for personal reasons, not as a buy-and-sell buisness.
If it is a business, you file as a Self-Employed Taxpayer.
NOTE: personal transactions could also be on the 1099-K, such as receiving money from a friend or family member.
If you sell items online as a business, enter on Schedule C
If this reports rent, enter in the Rental Section (Schedule E)
If you sell personal items online similar to a garage sale enter following these steps:
In TurboTax enter the 1099-K under:
On the “Did you get a 1099-K?” screen, select “Yes”
On the “Which type of income is your 1099-K for?” screen, select “Personal item sales” CONTINUE
Enter the 1099-K as it was reported and select the box for “This amount in box 1a is too high or includes some personal transactions” in order to enter any personal items such as birthday gifts, but not to adjust for items sold online.
CONTINUE
On the next “Personal Item Sales” screen, make the correct selection.
Choose “I sold some items at a loss or had no gain” if you made a profit on any individual sale
Chose “All items were sold at a loss or had no gain” If ALL the items were sold and you did not realize a gain on any single item, (they sold for less than or only for as much as you paid to purchase the item in the first place) you would not need to enter any sales.Enter the amount of the 1099-K that represents the cash you got for selling items at cost or under.
So, if the 1099-K reports $1,000 and the only item you sold at a profit was an item that sold for $50, you would enter 950.
$950.00 on that 1099-K does not need to be address.
Also, remember that this is NOT saying you MADE $50, only that someone paid $50. The profit would be less because you need to subtract what you paid to buy it.
CONTINUE
Finish the interview and select done on the “Your 1099-K summary” screen,
YOU ARE NOT DONE if you made the first choice that only SOME items sold at a loss,
that would mean that at least one item sold at a gain, for a profit.
Now you need to report the sale, go to
Click REVIEW to open
The next screen has an input screen for the Personal items you sold at a
profit/gain.
Enter one sale at a time.
Report when purchased, when sold, how much you paid to buy it and how much they paid to buy it from you
The next screen asks for selling fees, but those are USUALLY deducted before they pay you, so would not be included on Form 1099-K
If they were not, enter here
Once done, you should see the amount of proceeds you needed to address ($50) and the profit you made from that (those) sales.
The profit is Capital Gain listed on your 1040 line 7
I do not understand why they need to be reported if they are under the threshold.?.
All income must be reported with or without a reporting document. There are very limited exceptions. The exceptions do not pertain to your situation for 2024.
Who must report and send 1099-Ks to individuals?

ALS0, WHERE DO I REPORT THEM IF NOT A BUSINESS?
