kelsea Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Yeah, because the Taylor Swift fans who sold their tickets for some extra running around money are really the people the IRS needs to go after... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byzantium Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 If you sell a ticket for over $600 and make a lot of money, that is income and you are legally obligated to report that. It’s the law… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) This doesn't specifically target ticket resale, but any account on payment services such as PayPal, Venmo etc. with transactions totaling over $600 per year. The threshold at which these services were previously required to file 1099 paperwork was $20,000. Professional scalpers routinely exceed that value so this change does not affect them. It really just ends up targeting small time sellers looking to supplement their income, and yes, fans who choose to sell their tickets for whatever reason. This is not the IRS going after scalpers or closing tax loopholes on billionaires, it's just making life more difficult and expensive for the plebs.

It’s the law… This. I don't know why people are being silly. It's one thing to be annoyed like when I grab an extra coffee for a coworker who said they'd pay me later and then I get taxed on the $5 I requested on Venmo cause the coworker for some reason selected the "this is a good or service" option. It's another to essentially try and flip concert tickets for profits exceeding hundreds of dollars like as though you didn't just do so for the gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waylon4ever Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Why are you all crying about it? This $600 rule was made by the Biden Administration and his goal of hiring 87,000 new agents to go after the middle class and poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
