Never knew so many sovereign citizens resided in the borders of America.
Is that like cosplaying Americans? It's hard to tell you guys from the real ones.
All the best,

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?
Yes they will report and send you a 1099k but for personal items you most likely bought it for a similar price or maybe even more so no gain, no tax. Notice how Amazon and Ebay now charge the buyer sales tax? This was not the case before but stems from the Wayfair vs south Dakota ruling in 2018. For sites that do not collect sales tax I imagine states could use this form to collect thier share. AND you will pay sales tax always but only the buyer pays. That's where this new ruling will get it's money.
Imagine paying 8% more for everything you buy on Agon? |
It seems like this is to help get a little more revenue from cottage type businesses, but will be another way the IRS can flag any one of us. This is just a quick search of the taxes we already pay...

@taxguy I heard about this tax change on YouTube and immediately thought of a couple points:
My question to you... If audio gear (or anything else we sell) generates one of these 1099’s, does depreciation need to be factored in? That could significantly reduce/eliminate the value of the original cost - resulting in the entire transaction being taxable gain. Example: In 2016, I buy a new amp for $3000. Depreciation schedule for electronics is short (think maybe only a couple years), so in 2022, that item is likely fully depreciated. I sell it in 2022 for $4000 (due to it’s popularity and inflation). Can the gain be offset by the original cost in this case?
@nonoise Americans are always on the lookout for government tyranny, because patriots and government are usually at odds with each other. Governments endeavour to control, while patriots endeavour toward freedom. Example: The 2nd US constitutional amendment provides the right to be free of governmental infringement to maintaining a weaponized civilian militia specifically for the purpose of defending against tyrannical government. US founding fathers had the foresight to prepare for this by making it the 2nd amendment (just after free speach) - that’s how important it is. |
