Bartering income occurs when you exchange goods or services without exchanging money; or the
full amount of money. The goods or services exchanged have a dollar or fair market value,
and this value must be included on the tax return of both parties as
bartering income.
If you exchanged goods
or services through a barter exchange you'll receive a Form 1099-B from the
exchange for the bartering income that you must report on your tax return.
