Out of curiosity - How do they know something is a business transaction vs. your friend paying you back for their half of a hotel you booked for y'all or something? Don't a ton of people use Venmo for splitting bills with friends?


Venmo is only counting transactions marked as goods or services.

PayPal, I'm not sure.

Ebay is obviously selling goods so you'll need to show your expenses should you be audited.

There's no new tax here, it's just leering the documentation thresholds to try to increase compliance, but the IRS has as much as said they don't have the ability and won't be enforcing this.

I have a brand new laptop I desperately want to sell right now. I need the money. However, I don't want to sell on eBay, because I don't want to get into any issues with reporting or documentation. Are you saying I can just do it and not worry about it?

Good that were already taxed when I bought them.
