1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Paypal sending 1099-Ks to USA sellers who received over $600

    1. The old threshold was $20,000 and they want it at $600 but for 2024 it’s $5,000. Some states are different though.

      I’m happy to get this information at the beginning of the year instead of the end like they did the last two years, in ‘22 and ‘23 I kept my sales below $600 to make sure I would not have to report and then found out at the end of the year I didn’t have to.

    2. I wish the information was easier to find. I don't care if each state has a limit but I would love if either PayPal or IRS would just let us know what limit is once and for all. If limit in Illinois is $5000 I can get sales at least a couple dolls gone and be happy. I just don't want to lose more then I have to.

    4. If you’re in a state where they previously had the rule for $600 threshold, nothing changes. To get specific requirements for your state you should talk to a tax preparer in your area. But if you have proof that you did not make a profit the income is not taxable.

    5. If you're not a business, not filling as a business, I discovered through some tax info sites something interesting. If you're owned the items more than 1-2 years, and they are from your own possessions, there is an option to claim the sales as personally owned items under the capital gains/losses. Since capital gains has a much higher exclusion threshold, it's worth looking into if you're selling only your stuff to meet bills or make ends meet. Anyone else look into this?

    6. @hobbywhelmed - it's a one-year threshold (exactly one year, as in 365 days, and yes, I've had to do the math before, lol). As far as the capital gains tax rate, start here.
      Note: "taxable income" is the income after your adjustments and the standard (or itemized) deduction - the number right before you calculate your tax, which is line 15 on page 1 of the 2023 return form for individuals.
      Summary of how to list capital assets in my comment here.

    7. Anyone know the 2025 limit? Is it down to the 600 now?

      I know 2024 was 5k.

    9. Since it's mainly sales tax, I think its a state matter so I would look into what your states says about what is really tax free.
       
    10. To be honest I don't feel the threshold matters much anymore. The fact is they're paying closer attention (or at least want you to think they are), so I hope y'all are keeping every single doll-related receipt no matter what the threshold is! Whether you get a 1099 or not, any profit you made selling your stuff is taxable income. Whether you get a 1099 or not, selling your stuff at a loss is not taxable income.

      I still have not heard of anyone being contacted about failure to report "income" from these 1099s. I personally have made no mention of doll sales on my taxes for five years, and nothing has come of it. (To be clear, ALL of my doll sales were at a loss for those five years.) I'm not advising or recommending my way, but just wanted to say how it's going for me in case it makes anyone feel better. I was so scared when I got my first 1099, but so far nothing bad has happened to me because of them. :)

    12. I wish the states would all let up as many people only do selling online because the jobs they have just don't cover everything. The rich get richer.
