Doesn't it only report if the transactions are over $600? Pretty sure this won't have much of an effect on selling a record here and there. More for people making an actual small business out of it.
But to answer your question, the tax should be applied to whatever you sell it at
“Beginning six months from now, on January 1, 2022, for the tax year 2022, the TPSO has to send the recipient a 1099-K when the recipient has receipts of $600 or more during the year.”
I think it’s going to make selling records not worth the hassle. It will take another big cut of your proceeds. Most of my sales are at a loss but I don’t have receipts for them all to prove it
So, just got off the phone with our family CPA and got her recommendation. For heavy sellers that have always managed to stay under the $20k threshold but are not quite at the LLC level because they’re not concerned with liability and what not. Her recommendation is to file a schedule C.
This way, you don’t need to pay for a state or federal business license and don’t need EIN if you’re doing it by yourself, you can then write off your expenses and pay taxes on just your profit. If you claim as a hobby, you pay taxes on the full amount of the sale and the write offs for hobbies are few and far between.
