Paypal asking for IRS tax ID, I'm not American
Hi all,
I keep getting prompts from paypal that IRS are asking for me to provide my tax id (ITIN) and I cant close my paypal account and my account is limited until I do so. I'm not planning to close it but I'm wondering why they keep asking for it. I also dont know what this "limit" is.
I have a UK paypal account as I'm from the UK. I have received royalty payments in US dollars before but this can't be more than maybe 5k total.
Do I have to give it to them? Why are they asking? My tax and the tax treaty waiver is already taken care of outside of Paypal.
Thanks
