Tell Congress their new 1099-K rules are confusing and unnecessary
 

Anyone else get this email from eBay? This is for the U.S.

"You may have heard about a new tax law that went into effect this year. We believe this new regulation just doesn’t make sense. It creates confusing and unnecessary paperwork for millions of casual sellers on eBay, who will now receive tax forms even when they don’t owe taxes.
To help support our sellers, we’ve been working to put pressure on Congress by bringing our community together to make their voices heard. We need sellers like you to speak out today and tell Congress to act in the interest of sellers across the US."


Basically they let you email congress to oppose the new tax law that came into effect this year regarding the $600 threshold.

It's an automated email. I wonder if this will be effective at all.
I would post the link but I'm not sure if that's against the rule.

Because a lot of people started to complain that their information was stolen from people who sell on ebay, and the i r s told them they need to pay taxes for money they did not make. And the numbers are huge. Ebay will go out of business in less than a year if this continues.

Google it. Do not ask me. I've read an extensive report on the matter. I found this there, you can too. Do not act crazy.

Internet is packed with facts and fictions,truth and lies.
do not act ignorant !
I recall someone claimed Ebay and Paypal are wrong when he claimed to have shipped a 37 inches TV set with a USPS first class tracking number and Ebay/paypal would not accept it as proof of delivery
