1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

I received an email said that the 1099K was mailed to stealth address and return and asked me to update the address information. These are all under 200/20k. Can I just ignore this as it was send to the stealth address that is not exist.

You are the second person I have read about that had one mailed.

If you log into paypal can you see the tax document on the top left? If so, what do the numbers say? What state is the account in?

I am Vermont one of the state that just changed their law and Massachusetts also. I read the article about it. This is just the state tax that they want to collect if your sale is 600 or higher. But this is a steal account and I don't even have real info or ssn attached. Anyone with the knowlege. Please give me advise

Wonder what the tax ID is on the 1099?

To answer your question, PP will most likely give you a few weeks to update your account info. If you don't they'll limit your account.

Yes, the 1099 sent out can not be ignored.

I got one like that too but PP not in VT or Mass. No alerts in PP, no warnings at all last year either. Plus it's asking to email them that it has been done so they can mail it to the correct address again.

Any tax ID in your case?

Did you ever see the actual 1099?

Re: 1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

Nothing no tax id. what do you mean 'see' a 1099. Where is that inside PP?

Re: 1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

You go into the reporting center in your PP account then click "tax documents".

I'm just curious how they send a 1099 to the IRS without a tax ID for the seller. Kinda thought that was the whole point of a tax ID, lol.

No documents it says 'none for 2017' in there.

1099-Misc

If you sell certain types of products or are near a threshold metric they will issue those if they wish.

It sounds like they are sending the form BUT not reporting the the IRS much like an interest bearing checking account sends you one in January.

Re: 1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

I went in there last night it had 80 sales and average 50 to 100 bucks for 2017. You know it could be a b*tch if they want it to be. What address can you change it to? Bad news if it sticks or expands.

Re: 1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

You would need an address like a UPS store box. They have been issuing these for years on folks, nothing new here.

Re: 1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

Email says 'we sent one to you in January but it came back no such person' Why tell me now in stead of then? I Googled the email to send them the new address to and there are no matches at all meaning never discussed out there in my mind.

Re: 1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

I have done that in the past and buyers have messaged me back that it was returned....doesn't always work.

Re: 1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

how about a PO Box? UPS store, mail boxes etc....

If you open your PO box as a business, you can get pretty much anything in any name. If personal, you can add 4 names to the same PO box.

Re: 1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

I guess I will do that. I never liked that because then the outside world can link me for real even though there are deeper 'stealth' ways to get P.O. boxes but I don't like that.

Re: 1099k mailed to steal address and returned
 

If you aren’t selling illegal goods it shouldn’t matter.

Thanks I'll write that down so I don't forget.
