PayPal for Businness and EIN

Justin Ghost · #1 10-01-2018

Can PayPal see the info for your EIN (owner, address, etc) when connecting or just the number?

Anyone know?

Only the business name and EIN #. There isn't a public database where anyone can go look up an EIN's owners. But there is a public database where anyone can look up an LLC's owner.

You have to list the name of the LLC, no?

Business name + EIN are put into Paypal. Paypal doesn't look up LLC owners which is (I guess) why this is a viable workaround.

Hi Phaz0rz,
when putting Business Name + EIN into paypal…

QUESTION:
When you open a LLC on the IRS website, where would you put your Stealth name for the LLC?
(would it be doing business as... "Stealth Name")?

SO basically my question is: Which name has to "match" on Stealth Paypal and Real LLC.

Answered in your thread, but I'll reiterate. You don't give any stealth info to the gov't ever.
