Providing information for taxes

[jamonn0]

Hello. I started selling on Ebay last August of 2018. My wife is preparing items for our taxes and asked me for anything I have in that department. Is there somewhere on Ebay and/or PayPal where it has these things listed so they can be easily printed out. I need to go from August of 2018 to the last of December 2018. Thank you.

In your PayPal account, go to Reports > Financial Summaries >  "Financial Summary" and you can choose 2018 from the drop-down menu for the report interval.

https://business.paypal.com/merchantdata/reportHome

This will generate a summary of your PayPal activity for the year, including a line item for all payments received, for Fees (i.e., PayPal fees), and another line for all refunds sent. 

To see your payments to a specific vendor such as eBay shipping, go to your basic Summary page and click on "Payments sent," then do a search on "eBay Inc Shipping" for 2018. Unfortunately, PayPal no longer provides a total for this information (as they did with "Transaction finder") so you'll have to either add them up or export the data, to Excel.
