• Direct sale of $5,000 of any consumer product, etc.

Example: Nick owns a two-story apartment building and rents out one of the units to Sarah for $400 per month. As Sarah pays her rent in cash, she is required to report this rental payment on Form 1099-MISC and send it to Nick as the landlord. This ensures that Nick properly reports the rental income on his tax return, as required by the IRS.
