Can you have your business name to USPS or UPS box for tax purpose

[markflood]

Paypal is asking me to add my tax number, this is a stealth account, so i cant access the stealth address i put, i have over 200 items sold and less than 10,000 sold. I am going to sign up for PO box so i can address my tax id and any mails from paypal.

The account is a personal i am going change to a business so i can add EIN tax id. Is it okay to have business name and address ....Arts and Inc PO BOX 392 NY City NY 30219 on paypal and when you sign up for EIN with the irs have the same thing.

Does paypal accept PO boxes as a address? and for tax purposes of the business location? Is this safe?

UPS but not for USPS. they do not allow PO box as an address

you can use the street address of the post office and unit #, however any review will show it's a post office

Using physical address
B XXX
my town, my state, my zip
for USPS PO box okay?
What do you guys use when you sign up for EIN for stealth? Forwarding or UPS box?

also when you sign up for EIN and it mailed to you , do paypal check the business name and address to see if matches? Do they both have to match?
I was thinking of getting ein in my business name and mailed to my real address. will paypal see my real address if they check the numbers? Will that get me link and banned since my real address is suspended from ebay and paypal...

They do now when you use what is called 'street addressing'. it is a new feature that came out earlier this year specifically to take deliveries from fedex/ups

Yes someone in this experience please answer, I already bought a UPS mailbox for 14 dollars a month and 15 dollar set up for fee. I am a honest seller sell honest goods, pay my taxes like everyone else. Hard to correct if ebay bans you for life. obvious people are not going listen

In 2009 it was announced paypal, amongst others, would need to report info to the IRS.

Note, not 6 weeks ago but years. Forum is not a tax agent

i'll attempt to get some info defined for those incapable of searching IRS sites.
