Internet Sales Tax Report

Where can I find the 2019 report for sales tax collected and remitted by Ebay.

Thanks

As best I can tell, there isn't one.  I had to look at every single sales order.

On PayPal

I just went through this yesterday, after talking with two not very knowledgable eBay reps in the Phillipines, both of them told me I have to ask Paypal where to find the tax totals, as they have no way of totaling them. Then I called Paypal and spoke with another person in the Phillipines who also could not help me so I asked to speak with someone who knew US Taxes. I was then transferred to a very helpful person in the USA, who confirmed the following:

The only way to find the tax totals other than looking at each sale is to download a report from paypal. In Paypal it is under Reports-Activity Download- then select date range and CSV file, then open the CSV in Excel and in column "T" you can make a formula that will total the sales tax for that date range. As you can see they have made it very difficult and time consuming for sellers.

The Paypal rep also confirmed that I am paying the 2.9% processing fee on the sales tax, and the collected tax will be reported to the IRS as income in my gross earnings on form 1099-K.

I have put my ebay store on vacation and I am planning to get out of ebay all together as I have been a seller since 1999 and I honestly am saddened by the way sellers are treated. 

After working to make a compelling listing, adding photographs and an accurate description, pricing, shipping costs, finally when someone searching for your product reads your listing they get to the bottom of the page and see your competitors listings and pricing for the same item!!! This is literally one of the worst selling environments I have seen and is very unfriendly to small business. 

I am currently dedicating my efforts to things that help my business, not make it harder , more expensive, and more complicated.

Ebay is punishing its sellers, and it is a very sad thing to see.

Paypal show it on the monthly statements. It is the Partner Fee.

Paypal is reporting sales tax as part of our gross incomes, so deduct it on Schedule C.

On Schedule C report sales tax as part of the total on either:
line 10 Commissions and fees.
OR on line 23 Taxes and licenses.

I will carefully read the instructions and/or call the IRS when I am ready to fill out my taxes to see which line it is to be reported on.

P.S. Paypal calls the sales tax a Partner Fee. So, it probably fits on line 10 Commissions and fees.

I am not an accountant.

Ebay and Paypal did not add the sales tax to our gross incomes until Nov. 2019.

So, for Nov. and Dec to get the total sales tax go to:

https://business.paypal.com/merchantdata/reportHome  --> Statements --> Monthly.

The PDF has the Partner Fee totaled for the month on page 3.

I do not know what the CSV download looks like.

Hope this helps.

I found this on Ebay https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/service-and-payments/tax-information.html#how-to-access-reports as if the report is supposed to exist, but when I click on the orders report link it takes me back tot he home page.

This seems like such an easy report for EBAY to generate, why is this not readily available?

@sfnum08 

Go to your all orders page.

https://www.ebay.com/sh/ord/?filter=status:ALL_ORDERS

Top right of the page, click download report. The sales tax figures are there, column AC, Ebay collected tax.

Me, I just record everything in a ledger book. I can find what I need in seconds.

Is that link working for you? When I click it, the URL redirects back to this

https://www.ebay.com/n/error?statuscode=500

That is the same link I mentioned in my previous post of redirecting back to the home page. 

I was on the phone with an EBAY rep and hers did the same thing.

[southern*sweet*tea]

Oh, okay, wasn't aware that it was the same link.

But yeah, it worked for me fine. You click it and it will generate the report, then the download box pops up for you to save it in Excel.  All of this is done on the same page, shouldn't redirect anywhere.

Wonder if it's a browser issue...I'm using Firefox 71.0 64 bit and it worked fine.

[loveyourimagination49]

Op, your posted link opens the help page. The order report links from there takes you to your all orders page which sweets link takes you to.
On iPhone and CB. Chrome and safari.
I’m not sure why you would be getting home page or error.

[nc-daydreamer]

I just did mine using a computer and Chrome - worked well for me.

Thanks for the link but unfortunately all I am shown under ALL ORDERS is 4 orders that buyers cancelled.

Any idea where else to look?

Does the fact that I archive all orders after shipping have anything to do with it?
