Paypal Changes for 2022


If I understand this correctly, Paypal, along with all on-line payment sources like Venmo, etc. will now be sending out 1099 forms for all payments totaling $600 you receive in 2022 for goods or services.  The only way around this is to use Paypal friends and family for payment which eliminates any buyer protections.  Is everyone aware of this?

So, what's the solution?  Do we have to keep track of what we paid for an item vs. what we sold it for or won't that matter?  If you sell $5,000 worth of equipment this year, you'll get a 1099-K for $5,000 for additional income?

Unfortunately there is no way out. You have to keep track of everything and report everything. I had a thread running in here last year: 

 

 

Got it.  It looks like we have to file a schedule C to list cost of goods sold and can write off travel expense, packing materials, etc.  Seems like a real pain, but the only way to keep from paying tax on the total amount listed on the 1099.
