SELLING ON VINTED, etc

When does Vinted generally have to report your sales to the IRS on Form 1099-K?
For 2026, the federal threshold is more than $20,000 AND more than 200 transactions during the calendar year. Both conditions have to be met. The IRS confirms that the old $20,000/200-transaction threshold was reinstated.

So, for example, if you sold $8,000 worth of items in 150 Vinted transactions, Vinted generally would not be federally required to issue a 1099-K based on that threshold. A marketplace can still issue one below the threshold, and some states have different reporting requirements.

2. When do YOU actually owe tax?
This is the more important part. The $20,000/200 rule is only a 1099-K reporting threshold, not a tax-free allowance.

If you’re mainly selling your own used clothing, shoes, purses, etc. for less than you originally paid, you generally have no taxable income from those sales. For example, you bought a dress for $80 and later sell it on Vinted for $25. That’s a $55 personal loss. You don’t owe income tax on the $25, and you can’t deduct the $55 loss.

If you sell something for more than you paid for it, however, the gain is taxable. For example, something cost you $50 and you sell it for $100, so you have a $50 taxable gain.

And there’s another wrinkle: if you’re buying merchandise specifically to resell on Vinted for a profit, rather than simply cleaning out your own closet, that can become a business activity and the tax treatment is different.

So if what you’re doing is mainly selling your own clothes and personal items that you no longer want, you could conceivably sell several thousand dollars on Vinted and still have little or no taxable income from those sales.
