Reply to comment by beckagrosst in How should I deduct cost of goods sold for gifted household items for eBay taxes? by beckagrosst

The 1099-k rules were delayed another year

And It’s not income

>As a result of this delay, which follows over a year of eBay Government Relations advocacy on behalf of the eBay community, only sellers who: 1) exceed the previous threshold of $20,000 and 200 transactions, 2) that were subject to backup withholding or, 3) whose states of residence have a lower reporting threshold will receive a Form 1099-K.

I am in a state whose reporting threshold is $600, so I think this still applies to me?

Your post is asking about federal rules and you didn’t include your state

Regardless, your cost basis in a gift is either the donors adjusted Basis or FMV, whichever is “worse” for you, so it doesn’t matter since you don’t have a gain

I see. So basically I did not gain and therefore don't show a profit on this sale?

Edit: The state is VA
