This is ridiculous policy, but a lot of you are making this something it's not.

Sorry for hijack here. How do brokers even get access to some of these tickets? For instance, B1G Championship game, each team got like 11,000 tickets. That leaves about 50,000 out there. If sponsors get them and resell, OK, I get that. But, they don't literally command all 50,000, do they? I didn't even try for the Orange Bowl because I was reading things that brokers weren't even going to release a lot of the tickets until last week or so.

Well then, can you clarify what it is specifically?

Jokes on them - I'm a Pelicans season ticket holder. I'll never turn a profit.

Should people pay their appropriate tax liability or not? We can argue until we're blue in the face what that liability should be, but the laws right now are the laws right now. Why do they get to not pay and I do?

I don't know. I just think it's petty to go after nickels and dimes.

If you're a nickel and dime earner, I could see how you might be upset. But rather than increase taxes paid by low earners, I would rather increase taxes on higher earners.

But the fact is that we don't need for the FedGov to get any more money than they already take.

99.99% of these 1099's that are issued are never going to be examined by the IRS.

Is it a pain in the arse for guys like Antique Tiger that have a lot of volume and don't have good cost basis on what's essentially a hobby? Yes, but that income under the current law is and has been taxable and he should have been reporting it the whole time.

For the overwhelming majority that may resale a couple of items a year this is a nonissue, even if you are 1099'd, and these facilitators are going to update your systems to help you. Stubhub (I think) has already added space for you to enter your cost when selling to have your profit calculated for you.

If this is fricking over anyone, it's the facilitators and market places that have been burdened with an insane administrative process. It's going to be very, very expensive.

Why, exactly? What right does the government have to our labor? These items were sold in stores and they got their blood money then. How on earth do you justify them squeezing the little guys multiple times in the secondary market now?


Anyone who supports this crap has some tarnish on their soul

Your philosophical thoughts on what should and should be taxable and the current tax law are two totally different things.

We probably agree on a lot of what we think taxes should be, but that doesnt mean a damn thing when the tax man comes knocking. You can be a concious objector to paying your taxes if you'd like, but I'm going to go ahead and pay mine.

You might not turn a profit but will still get a 1099 if you sell over 600. You will still have to have records of your costs.
