Do you use PayPal or Venmo? The IRS is giving you a break.
Tax agency also said it will boost the reporting threshold to $5,000, from $600, in 2024 as it phases in the new regulation.www.cbsnews.com
Thank goodness!
I just got the dreaded email last week from VC asking for my SS for tax purposes. I guess I assumed since they were a European company we wouldn't be subjected to the $600 threshold since they had never asked for our SS numbers before, but I guess since they acquired Tradesy now they're a US company. Thank goodness they delayed it. Between ebay, Poshmark & VC I was well over the $600 limit and wasn't looking forward to the extra work of having to prove I lost money on the sales.
They harass me with periodic emails because I’m approaching the $600 limit. Last year I ignored them and stopped selling when they disabled selling on my account (a buyer tried to purchase something from me but Mercari needed my SSN to complete the sale as it would push me over $600; I decided to not provide the info and lose the $10 sale). I was able to resume selling after January 1st. I think they send automated emails when you get close to the $600 limit. #nottaxadviceMercari is still asking me to enter my w9 information. Did anyone else add this or will they eventually remove this due to the delay?
