I'm relocating to another country soon and last year I sold some used household goods on eBay and received a 1099-K for $13,000. Do I report it as other income or do I have to report it as a schedule C?

Form 1099-K is used for many things. If you sold personal items, they don't need to be reported on Schedule C.  Follow the steps below to enter it into TurboTax.

 

  1. Open your return
  2. Go to 1099-K
  3. Add a 1099-K
  4. The next screen lets you select the type of income that your 1099-K is for, select the option that is closest to the income you received
  5. Enter the information from your form and mark the box of This amount in box 1a is too high or includes some personal transactions
  6. Enter the amount
