eBay sent me an IRS Form 1099-K by mistake?
eBay has sent 1099-Ks to several eBay sellers due to a mistake. Sellers can check if this is valid by logging into the eBay’s tax report portal.
An incorrect 1099-K tax form for your 2021 sales was issued to you
A recent technical issue resulted in a 1099-K form being incorrectly provided to you. Please disregard the incorrect 1099-K form. The incorrect 1099-K form was not sent to the IRS or California Franchise Tax Board.
We’re working to resolve the issue and ensure that it will not happen again. Unless you had more than $20,000 in gross sales and 200 transactions in 2021, we will not submit a 1099-K form to the IRS or the California Franchise Tax Board.
We sincerely apologize for the error and any inconvenience this may have caused.
As always, thanks for selling on eBay, and for being part of the eBay community.

How do I tell if I will receive a 1099-K from eBay?
Sellers can login to the eBay Tax Portal to find out if they have a 1099-K form for the tax year. We recommend waiting until after January 31st, 2022 to see if you have a tax form. If you did not sell enough for the IRS to be notified, eBay will show the that “No eBay Tax 1099-K Form Available.” IRS still states that you need to report all income. Please speak to your tax advisor.
I received a 1099 from EBay saying I received $ 400 in last September and another over $1900 in October. I have never had an account or sold or bought anything on EBay !!!!!! What do I do ?
Which state are you in? Some states do require a 1099 if it’s over $600 for 2021. In this case, you do need to report it and deduct the cost of the original cost of the items. At the amount you sold, chances are you didn’t have a profit. But you are saying you never sold anything on eBay period? That means, someone has used your info to sell? You may want to contact eBay on this one.
