Quick Answer — Poshmark Taxes Illinois 2026

Poshmark resellers in Illinois with $60,000 gross sales and $25,000 in cost of goods sold owe approximately $3,877 total — net profit of $23,000, after Poshmark's 20% commission and cost of goods, taxed at $3,250 self-employment tax (15.3%) + $638 federal income tax + 4.95% Illinois state income tax. Quarterly estimated payment: ~$969. The 1099-K reports gross sales, not this profit figure.

Key Takeaways

  • Poshmark resellers are independent contractors — Poshmark withholds zero taxes
  • On $60,000 gross sales with $25,000 COGS: net profit $23,000 → ~$3,250 SE tax + ~$638 federal = ~$3,888 total in Illinois
  • Quarterly payments due Apr 15, Jun 16, Sep 15, Jan 15 — ~$972 each
  • The 1099-K reports gross sales — Poshmark commission and cost of goods come off before you owe tax
  • Federal 1099-K threshold: $20,000 and 200+ transactions — some states set it far lower
  • File Schedule C — report all Poshmark income even without a 1099-K
