Default Paypal EIN questions

So I got these notifications today:

Not sure if this is just a warning for the projection of my sales? Because I am no where near the $20,000 mark for the year.
I have read a few threads on here but still confused on what to actually apply for. Do I apply on the IRS website?
I also see multiple types of EIN being discussed here; Business Entities, Sole Proprietors.
How do I know which one to choose for a stealth account? And what if they still ask for a ssn after uploading the EIN?
Thanks in advance

You need to read up which type of business is right for you. Go to legal zoom form your company then go to IRS website and ask for EIN. And sometimes they do ask for SSN of the owner, sometimes they don't. Hard to say.

Wouldn't it be best to do a sole proprietors for a single stealth ebay account?

These are accounting questions that should be asked to your accountant.

Heads up, sole proprietor is about the highest possible tax rate for most situations and offers zero protection of anykind.

Nearly always when you upgrade they will ask for the last 4 of your SS. Just enter the last 4 of the EIN number.

Dont pay for a very expensive service from legal zoom when you do it all yourself for free. But they are a decent source for information but by no means replaces your accountant.

how much have you sold this year to prompt this message? if you want to keep selling on this account then provide a EIN. If you don't want to provide EIN then just hit the remind me later option and don't sell anymore on that account & spread over multiple stealth accounts.

OP: Is your Paypal account on your own name or stealth name?

I sold about $3,500 when I got this message. I think I will end up doing the EIN. I spoke with jeffweico over PM and he helped me with pretty much everything I needed to know. Big thanks to him!

Read above and search the forum about EIN. Hundreds if not thousands of threads on this. Most in the past few years are fairly accurate.

EIN is in your real name and SS. Never give the IRS ⊗⊗⊗⊗ details unless you like tax fraud charges.

No need to give legal zoom hundreds of dollars.

OP should make use of the IRS site and proceed thst way.

But which details have to match the stealth account? I appreciate your response!
