IRS to Track Online Sellers' Payment Transactions Beginning Next Year

Internet sellers who don't report their sales will no longer be under the radar. Starting next year, any bank or other payment settlement company that processes credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments such as PayPal will have to issue information returns telling the IRS what merchants receive. The new returns are Form 1099-K, Merchant Card and Third-Party Payments.

To be fair, these people are currently breaking the law. So this is not NEW taxation. Just the IRS going after people who were not paying like they should be. To be clear, I'm not happy about it though.

Oh well, at least it's good to know that the owners and upper management of Ebay also pay their fair share of taxes.
