Question

What number do you put in for payment amount for 1099-K? I've tried every single number, the ones on the form, everything?

I've input totals, differences, zero, loss, everything and no number will let me file. What did I do wrong?

    Are you reporting the posting of IRS form 1099-K for personal items sales?  If so, report the amount of box 1a.

     

    The posting of IRS form 1099-K for personal item sales is a two-step process.  

     

    • First, you post the IRS form 1099-K amount of box 1a.  
    • Second, you post the IRS form 1099-B Proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions to report the sales proceeds and the cost of sales.

    Make sure that the amount reported on the IRS form 1099-K box 1a equals the Proceeds reported for the multiple entries of IRS form 1099-B.

    Done. But TurboTax keeps rejecting it, no matter what number is in there, total, adjusted total, difference, zero, won't take it no matter what. First year I've had a 1099K and it completely f*cks up, naturally. Won't allow me to complete the filing.
