Re: Stealth got issued 1099, I never gave them a Tax ID
I got a question, I was hit with the; need Tax ID about 3 months ago as i passed the 20k mark for money made as i sell on eBay and i needed either a TIN, EIN or SSN but since i didn't actually add my name correctly on it and don't have a SSN, that was out of the question. With TIN it seemed like i needed to do a Semi-Long process of some sorts and didn't want to waste the time and the only option I realistically had was the EIN which i did, got one for a good price with the name on the PayPal and i sent it in but there taking way to long to review and verify it and i had to call multiple times to tell them why there taking so long and they keep making excuses but 2 weeks have passed and nothing yet.
One thing i want to know is what are the chances of it passing?? And if not what are my best options after?
This is the note they sent me on my PayPal:
Because you receive payment for goods or services through PayPal, you must verify your U.S. taxpayer status. Take action now to avoid additional limitations to your account.
Any help or suggestions would help, thanks.
