Based on what we're seeing here, lots of folks. Also based on what we're seeing here, it's almost always because they did not know that their state had a lower reporting threshold.
For example, the threshold in Massachusetts in 2022 was $600. Did you know that?
The IRS delayed the implementation of the $600 threshold until 2023, so the federal limit is still $20,000 and 200 sales. That doesn't matter if the seller lives in a state with a lower threshold because eBay will report to both state and federal tax authorities when the lower threshold is met. If you get a 1099-K, the IRS has received the same 1099-K. They're going to want an explanation.
