Default Confirm your US taxpayer status

I received an email today saying to confirm my taxpayer status if I fail to do so my account will be limited. My sales did increase this month had the account for about a year. It gives me the option to put in my SSN or ITIN. I have not went over $20,000 this year so didn’t think I had to worry about this. So what do I do how long do I have to verify this I know I can’t ignore it. Also my main PayPal has never been been limited my eBay was just restricted from selling.

Isn’t it best to just upgrade to business and enter a full ein?

It’s not giving me the option to add ein for some reason or I would make one. If I was just to make is into a business account would the verify taxpayer status message go away?

I figured out where to add an ein to my account but does an EIN application really cost $250 I though it was free and the LLC cost money?

Apply for an EIN for free at the irs website.

1) I plan to file for an ein as dba, are you able to have multiple dba under the same ein number? I want to use dba for multiple stealth accounts.

2) When filing the application for an EIN number as a sole proprietor do I put my stealth name or real name?

3) Also what about my address of my business will i use my stealth address for personal address?

4)Does PayPal see the name and address when we provide an EIN number?

Ya I almost got scammed lol I did just create an EIN easier then I thought for free took 2 minutes but when I click on the message at the top of PayPal asking for taxpayer status And put in the EIN it says something went wrong please try again tried it a couple times not sure what the issue is but I did go to settings and enter the EIN number. It seems if you go past about $1,700-$2,000 in a month it will trigger PayPal into thinking your going to past the 20,000 threshold and ask for SSN.

I was able to submit the EIN and got an email saying I successfully submitted my taxpayer status so hopefully I’m off the hook for now.

Hi Shootemup321, did you use your stealth name to get a EIN or your real name? Or did you open a LLC and used the LLC name to get the EIN?

Any info would be helpful, as 2 of my stealth paypal accounts are asking for tax info.
