Question

Should I be concerned that line 1h of my 1040 shows 0, despite income reported on a 1099-K? Selected all items at loss or no gain in TT (which is true).

Or should I make sure that the reported 1099-K income shows on my 1040, and make an offsetting entry elsewhere such as miscellaneous income?

You should not be concerned. The personal items sold at a loss will appear on your Schedule 1, Part I as Additional Income but will not appear as taxable income on your Form 1040.

This is all fine and good, but are you aware that if the box at the top of Schedule 1 is the only numerical entry on Schedule 1, then Schedule will NOT be included in your return? Might confuse the IRS when they try to match the 1099-K amount and the number is nowhere to be found in your return.

I complained about this a few weeks ago and apparently, as of TT Basic Windows Version [phone number removed], it still functions that way.

The logic appears to be: if there are any entries on Schedule 1, lines 1 through 26, include Schedule 1; otherwise do not include Schedule 1.

The logic should be: if there are any entries on Schedule 1 OR if the 1099-K block at the top has an entry, include Schedule 1; otherwise do not include Schedule 1.

The temporary fix that I discovered is simply to go to line 8z and enter $0. Then TT will include Schedule 1.

Or am I completely out to lunch on this issue?

I am having the exact same issue as you. Have you received any additional guidance for this issue? I received a 1099-K, reported personal item sales all at a loss, but $0 of additional income showing on Line 1h of 1040 and no Schedule 1 automatically generating through TT. Spoke with a TT rep via phone and was told that TT has a record of me reporting the sales should anything ever come up, but I don’t love the idea of waiting to be contacted by the IRS to confirm that I appropriately reported these sales.
