Taylor Swift fans forked out an average $2,183 for a resold ticket to a concert on the superstar's Eras Tour, according to resale research site TicketIQ. Now, ticket resellers may owe taxes on profits made during what may turn to be — for them, at least — a rather "Cruel Summer." Ticket profits have always been taxable, but the new IRS reporting threshold for business transactions on third-party platforms, such as TicketMaster or eBay , is now a single payment of $600, down from 200 transactions worth an aggregate of over $20,000. Taxpayers will have to prepare as the law takes effect this coming season. "Starting at the beginning of next year, you want to make sure you know how to report this income," said certified financial planner and enrolled agent Tommy Lucas of Florida-based Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo.

With consumers turning to social media for financial information, tax advisors are often battling misinformation spread by influencers on popular platforms like TikTok. Nearly 80% of millennials and Gen Zers have used social media for financial advice, according to a 2023 Forbes Advisor survey of more than 1,000 American adults. Some 32% of respondents cited TikTok as a preferred platform for financial information. "It's a wealth of horrible information," said Josh Youngblood, an enrolled agent and owner of The Youngblood Group, a Dallas-based tax firm. "We can almost always tell when there is some new TikTok trend because a lot of us start getting the same questions from our clients," he said.
