Shocking! Our government wants more money from us to pay for their pointless mismanaged wasteful spending? Shocking!

If they expect tax money from me for the parts that I buy or sell privately they will need to show up at my house with the S.W.A.T. team.

The IRS has some other new rules. Drug dealers, burglars, pimps, prostitutes, and others engaged in illegal activities are now required to disclose that information and pay income tax on those "earnings". I am sure they will get lots of takers for that. What seems unfair is that the IRS will not allow deductions for condoms, bullets, crowbars, or any other expense items needed to successfully compete in the crime industry. Think I am kidding? Look it up.

Just tell people to send funds Friends and Family. That doesn’t get reported. But yeah, another day in America, cut taxes on the rich and corporations and raise them on the little guy.

Not to worry. You can always deduct the cost of the sale by factoring inventory storage cost, PayPal fees, packaging, shipping, transportation to the shipping facility, etc. I sell BMW m30 valve train spraybar banjo bolts for an average net profit of $ 0.01 per bolt. So far, I've never accumulated a net profit over $600 in any given year. "Can't go broke making a profit".

IRS Audit rate was 0.2% in 2020. And 44% of the Audits were of people with low enough income to use the Earned Income Tax Credit. If you are rich enough you just "borrow" from your 401K. Viola NO tax owed, Nuff said.

Doug,
You can't borrow from your 401K for living expenses. The very rich can borrow against their stock holdings with an interest only loan at a low rate. Stock appreciation would offset the interest so overall they are ahead and no tax. Even roll the interest payment into a bigger loan. In one company I have stock in, Kinder Morgan, the CEO gets over $250,000,000 (that's million!) a year in dividends from the company and pays capital gains tax rates on that income. 23.8% No state income tax in Texas. Richest 0.1% get richer.

All,

Ebay is a major platform for fencing stolen merchandise. Looks like the 1099-K will be a major PITA for occasional sellers. I found this on the TurboTax website. Hope it helps.

1099-K from Paypal and I don't have a business

I have received PayPal money transfer from a friend which I transferred back to him via MoneyWise later. It was just borrowed money and not an income. It was recorded as payment by PayPal and now I have 1099-K. How do I enter this in TurboTax online?

Q. Is there a way to do it without claiming it as an income?

A. Yes. You have to use a workaround in TurboTax.



Notice that there is no specified place, in TurboTax (TT) for a 1009K. That's because you are supposed to know what the income is for.



In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab (Personal in Home & Business)

- Wages & Income

Scroll down to:

-Less Common Income

-Misc Income, 1099-A, 1099-C

- On the next screen, choose – Other reportable income

- On the next screen, click yes

- On the next screen, you'll get blanks to enter the amount and a description. It will go on line 8 of Schedule 1 as "Other Income". Suggestion for description: erroneous income on 1099K



When that's done, do it again (a 2nd entry). This time make it a negative entry; put a minus sign (-) in front of the amount. Suggestion for description: erroneous income on 1099K offset

When you buy stuff, keep ALL the receipts. You might need them later to establish a basis.

I have been saving receipts for decades. I have them filed by supplier, not the vehicle. If faced with an audit I will say they all apply to whatever car is in dispute and they will just have to prove me wrong. Visit me in prison.

This isn't new, Paypal has been sharing info with the IRS for years. They came after me a few years ago because they connected my Paypal to my social, not my business so they said I was only half reporting, except my brother was reporting the other half and paying the taxes on it. I worked it out but it was obvious they had full access to how much I was making, and wanted their cut, which ironically they already had.

80,000 new agents
Of course, the IRS will have 80,000 new agents and the bank account information of taxpayers so taxpayers will be at a disadvantage even if they understand the law. The IRS has proven unwilling or unable to protect taxpayer data. They like to go after people with a R next to voting? If the real men don't stand up, the whole world is under China control.
