That doesn’t mean they won’t try to change the tax code eventually to do this. They will need to find every penny possible if we continue to outspend ourselves.

If people didn’t figure this out 10 years ago:

QUIT
USING
FACEBOOK

Your data (I.e., personally identifiable information) is a commodity that you’re giving them for free.

When you mark the item as sold on FB marketplace, it asks if you sold it on FB or elsewhere. Just answer that you sold it somewhere else
Or, big idea! Don't mark it sold. Just fricking delete it.

This is nothing new, the threshold was just lowered from $20,000 to $600. The marketplaces have a duty to track what is sold (FB/eBay/Mercari/etc) so they can send out tax documents.

If you sell locally and with cash, you’ll be fine. Just mark it as “no, haven’t sold”. If you sell via marketplace and ship, it’s all documented.

This explains their backpedaling on forcing banks to report account transactions over $600.

They can just achieve the same goal through sales tax regulating electronic platforms.

Imagine your buddy bought your rounding of golf. He paid taxes on it. You want to reimburse him, you’re paying taxes on that. Again.

Wow - they really got a big win.

If you make over $600 on any online platform you'll have to pay taxes on it.

This goes beyond FB.

This is so absurd. Can't even move money between friends and family depending upon the services now for whatever reason without having to account for it. That should not be the case. $600 over the course of a year is a joke. No reason to lower it from 20k.

I wish something could be done about this, because now I can't sell anything online unless I want to fill out tax forms.
