    Form 1099-K
    If you’ve sold at least $20,000 in gross merchandise value and exceeded 200 transactions for goods and services* on eBay this year, you will be receiving a tax Form 1099-K for all your 2019 sales transactions including relevant internet sales tax.

    Form 1099-K vs 1099-NEC

    As an eBay seller, the IRS considers you an independent contractor that performs services for a company rather than being a direct employee. You will file a 1099-NEC if you sold more than $600 in goods as discussed. The 1099-NEC form is replacing the 1099-MISC form from last year for classified non-employee work as of tax year 2020.

    If you sell $20,000 and have 200 or more transactions, then you will file a form 1099-K.

    It is not a good idea to guess how much you owe the government, instead of filling out your own 1099-k you need to use the form they give you. Many first time sellers don't know that eBay doesn't send your IRS form 1099k. They say that you must get the information from any third party network transaction company that “settles” the payments for your eBay business. Since you are selling on eBay that usually means you will get your PayPal 1099 or your chosen payment processor company.

    At the time of writing this article, there is one exception to this rule. If you live in Massachusetts or Vermont and have of $600 in gross payments in your eBay account, then you will file the 1099-K instead of the 1099-NEC. Remember to not report your eBay business income on the 1099-NEC if you are going to get a 1099-K from PayPal.

    How to Get a IRS form 1099-K From PayPal

    The IRS set up federal laws that require PayPal to send you a 1099-K to help track down eBay sellers who don’t report their profits. This means that taxpayers who have a credit card merchant account such as PayPal or similar service will receive a 1099-K in most cases.

    PayPal is required to send the IRS form 1099-K by January 31st for managed payments from the previous calendar year.

    If you don’t want to wait for your form to arrive, you can read it online by logging into your PayPal account. If you don’t see your 1099 form, then don’t make the mistake of thinking you don’t owe taxes. Many small business owners in the eBay community fall into this trap. PayPal reports your 1099-K to the IRS. Before they know it, they are issuing them a bill for the gross amount plus interest.

    Call PayPal to confirm if your tax form is coming or not. I also suggest that you contact eBay’s customer service just to be sure.

    Maybe we should have made an exception in your case...

    Mark the calendar! Who says these forums do not change people's minds? I have made @Jolly reconsider his stance on abortion!

    Affadavits are used everday in court procedures. Because you have found one that is incorrect, are we to assume all affadavits are false?

    Well, it would be nice if you can cite affidavits alleging widespread voter fraud that have been proven true.

    @renauda said in The Occupation Will Continue:

    "When the Soviet Union was entering its last days, one leader quickly made way for another. The parade of old Communist hacks in their dotage became a procession of political funerals. Generations after the revolution and the purges, the only thing anyone in Moscow believed in was the power and decadence of the ruling class. That and the threat America posed to them."

    Oh dear, what a load of bollocks. He really should have edited that out of his polemic.

    Well, he was CIA.

    Yes and just how does that make that paragraph credible?

    @jon-nyc said in Any guesses on the cabinet?:

    Jonah Goldberg's prediction:

    I’ll cut to the chase with the punditry: Barring some scandal, Austin will almost surely get the waiver. Republicans will score some points: During the confirmation hearing, your pen will run out of ink on your bingo cards filling in the words “JV team.” But look, the Republicans will want one, maybe two human sacrifices during the confirmation process. And as a career military man, battle-tested, who would also be the first African-American secretary of defense, Austin is not the most attractive meal, politically speaking. Compared to that tough leather, Xavier Becerra and Neera Tanden might as well appear before Congress in a giant crockpot.

    That’s why I think the JV team thing will ultimately be irrelevant. Biden will get his pick.

    Confirmed 93-2.

    @rich I wondered if he brought what the trailer can handle. Those must be heavy - was trying to figure out how they were made (one of them fell apart when he was moving it). Wonder what they cost.

    @kincaid said in Death Toll Comparison Breakdown:

    I'd be more interested in deaths per capita. Based on the world wide population during the Black Death years the totality of that must have been mind boggling.

    It was between 30% and 60% in Europe. I read somewhere that a half of all Londoners died.

    American conservatives are famous for never giving the slightest fuck about how other countries do things, hence it seems to be somewhat opportunistic to do that here when it looks convenient.

    Also, I find the text misleading.

    Mail-in voting is common or even the most common form of voting in several European countries. In Switzerland, 90% of votes are submitted by mail. Germany recently had an election where all votes were by mail (due to the pandemic); outside of the pandemic, 25+% of all votes are typically cast by mail.

    I don't know about all European countries, but besides Germany I know that UK, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, and Denmark have mail-in voting for everyone (not just selected groups), hence it's not at all unusual.

    In case anyone wants to know the given reason behind the censures:

    "The party censured Ducey over his decision to impose emergency rules during the pandemic that the GOP said "restrict personal liberties and force compliance to unconstitutional edicts."

    McCain, who endorsed President Joe Biden, "has supported globalist policies and candidates" and "condemned President Trump for his criticism of her husband and erroneously placed behaviors over actual presidential results."

    Flake has "condemned the Republican Party, rejected populism, and rejected the interests of the American people over globalist interests." The party suggested Flake join the Democrats."

    @george-k said in The day we let Covid-19 spin out of control:

    The rollout of Covid-19 vaccines brings with it the risk of a new wave of asymptomatic infections. The two vaccines authorized by the Food and Drug Administration have been proven to prevent illness, but not asymptomatic infection. Even after vaccination, the coronavirus may still temporarily take up residence in the lining of the respiratory tract, making it possible to infect others.

    Interesting

    Yes.

    And suppose that the virus finds safe harbor in your maxillary sinus, and you don't get sick. You'll test positive, and presumably, be infectious.

    If you have no symptoms, you might not get tested. You might just continue to go about the community spreading the virus.

    @loki said in Back to voter suppression:

    “VoteRiders estimated that up to 25 million voting-age Americans lacked a government-issued photo ID.”

    Yeah, I call BS on that. I watched a video one time of a right wing activist asking blacks on the street about their ID and how difficult it was to vote and they all were, well, basically insulted. Every one of them had ID of some form. I realize this could be a slanted presentation but seriously, it is not difficult to get ID and it would be a great idea to require the Federal or State gov'ts to provide free ID for voting an all other ID purposes.
