Received a 1099-K - Didn't meet thresholds? (MA/VT)

[Dunroamin3]

$1700 in ebay sales for the year and 52 transactions...

Why the 1099-k...both are WAY below the thresholds...any thoughts...not a busuiness...just and individual

Ok I'm also confused.  I'm under $20K, under 200 transactions, in MA, selling junk and I really didn't think I needed to report cleaning out my basement.  But I received a 1099-K.  That form says it it would only be sent for 200+ transactions and $20K+ but clearly that's not the case.

I read googling around that they do not send a copy of this to the govt because it didn't meet those threshholds?  I don't itemize, I don't run a business, just want to keep my taxes simple and was looking for something specific that says in 2017 they are reporting to the govt unless its 20K/200 transactions.  Not to mention then I have to go back and figure out all the ebay, paypal fees, shipping costs, etc.  It's not worth it to sell anything on eBay if I have to jump through tax hoops come tax time.

Thanks for posting about the MA/VT thing.  This is totally fxxked up!  I dunno if I still have receipts to prove that I didn't make money on the things I sold.   I'm mad that they have to go after us for cleaning out our closets or just getting rid of things we don't use anymore!

I received a 1099-K form this year.

-85 transactions

-WAY less than 20,000 in sales

-Do NOT live in MA/ VT

Called up PayPal and they said they sent it out "because it's required" even though I don't meet ANY of the needed qualifications and to contact my accountant for more information.

Any help?

I don't understand why I just received a 1099k when I only made $828.00 last year with only 95 total transactions for the year. Does anyone have any idea thansk

[Dana7777]

I should state that this  aws through Paypal  being the  third party processor. Paypal sent me the form. I looked on my account and there are no tax documents to download for 2017, yet I just received this 1099k  in the mail.

I just got one today with a total of $12,257.35 in sales with 130 transactions. I am **bleep**ing **bleep**. I sold my car with eBay but didn't think I would be getting a 1099k. I will now have to jump hoops to not have to pay taxes on this **bleep**. fml
