Default PayPal tax changes.

Hi,

I noticed that PayPal updated their rules for the IRS tax stuff. There was a November update, what does it mean?

yes, we have already had several reports.


Now, here' where it was surprising.

Users affected had already added info to their accounts months before.

Paypal appeared to finally catch up with them.

"you must provide PayPal with an IRS Form W-9 with your correct legal business name and/or TIN associated with any impacted PayPal account(s). "

i don't see the problem here. As long as you enter the correct business name your LLC is registered as.

If you have to do a W-9 form, don't you have to put your REAL name on the forum when submitting it?

ANY LLC or Corp has nothing to do with an individual.

Who owns Exxon? Who owns Fidelity? Home Depot?

It is exactly the same.

In order to pass PayPal's wanting for tax info, your EIN must be an LLC. Otherwise, when they verify the EIN, they'll find out the names don't match and then... stuff happens...
