PP Wants Tax Info On 2 Stealth Accts Need Help
 

Hi there I have 2 stealth accounts that PP wants me to provide tax info for, and I need help on how to provide that. I can't use my personal info for obvious reasons. So far I have entered NOTHING.

The first account has now been limited until they receive the information. This account is a partial stealth using information we can verify except for providing the tax info. eB is still pulling money out of my account for fees thru PP even though PP is not releasing the money once the funds are removed from my account.

The second account is still active however they just asked for me to provide my tax information for the first time.

I have an LLC however I used the TIN# on an account that has since been suspended back in 2012.

So I am at a crossroads as to what to do. I've read on here many people have done various things to become unlimited. I just don't know what I should do that is working today.

Do I need to form a new LLC and get a TIN for each of them?

Is there another number I can use outside of a SS# that will clear the restriction?

Do I need to start over?

I really don't want to lose these accounts so any help is appreciated, whether online of thru private mail. Thanks for any and all replies!

I am on the same boat, they are asking me for Tax ID or SSN. I am using real address and real last name but a different first name. What should I do?

That's the biggest downside of all US Paypal accounts. At this point you guys need to either let the accounts "cool down" or upgrade your accounts to business ones. You need to attach EIN, which is going to be most likely under LLC.

Your LLC name has to match your Paypal Business Name, which you will create. When you apply for EIN (LLC) you register your real address that you have access to, and you can include your Paypal's business address as your secondary address on EIN application. Paypal will only check if the EIN # and Business Name match, the rest is irrelevant.

If your PP was limited with 3 tax notices, then you will have to call Paypal and ask them to manually attach EIN (LLC); some reps may not even know how to do it or refuse but you gotta be persistent. Now, you will have EIN attached to your Paypal but it will still ask you for SSN and to that I know few solutions, which had worked for some and hadnt for the others:

1) You will enter SSN as last 4 digits of your EIN
2) You would need to find someone (or yourself) who can generate a random SSN, which will be based on DOB and location of the person registered on the account (regardless if it is fictional). And yes SSN number algorithms are known and this info can be found on the internet.

Now, steps with SSN may be considered as felony by some and not by others, so do it at your own risk but those are the only solutions that are working currently.

Those issues never arise on Canadian accounts.
