Paypal Changes for 2022


If I understand this correctly, Paypal, along with all on-line payment sources like Venmo, etc. will now be sending out 1099 forms for all payments totaling $600 you receive in 2022 for goods or services.  The only way around this is to use Paypal friends and family for payment which eliminates any buyer protections.  Is everyone aware of this?

Yes they will report and send you a 1099k but for personal items you most likely bought it for a similar price or maybe even more so no gain, no tax.

Notice how Amazon and Ebay now charge the buyer sales tax?

This was not the case before but stems from the Wayfair vs south Dakota ruling in 2018.

For sites that do not collect sales tax I imagine states could use this form to collect thier share.

AND you will pay sales tax always but only the buyer pays. 

That's where this new ruling will get it's money. 

 

Imagine paying 8% more for everything you buy on Agon?

If you are mailed to 1099k form you can claim zero profit and be done with it.

 

What is interesting is that this new rule also has a requirement for the payment app to collect the users EIN or SS#.

This part is still being flushed out but expect this sometime. 

I would also expect that this recording and collecting will be used for state sales tax collation as some sites do not include this. 

 

If you buy on Ebay or Amazon you automatically are charged your local state sales tax.
