i have well over $20K and 200 transactions thru paypal every year (combined stock, ebay & amazon sales) & have never had a tax form from them (tho i do use their reporting to tote up fees). might it be the difference between a personal & a business account? (i have the latter)

Don't know why not, but here's the scoop:

Under the act, PayPal is required to report to the IRS the particulars of any individual or business account receiving at least $20,000 in payments annually from at least 200 transactions. Both of these threshholds must be met to trigger the report, which is done on a new form, Form 1099-K.

Hmm, I don't like the way that link looks, here's the tinyurl:  https://tinyurl.com/yxmnlses

Yeah worth repeating, since that AND gets lost.  :) $19,999 and 300 transactions, no reporting required. That brings up another note: required does not equal that someplace won't do that. I worked a contract and asked that they only pay me $599 not the $600, dumb ass accountant still sent the 1099, so that means instead of making $599, for expenses, I made $449 after taxes.

I'm safely under $20,000 annually with Paypal, (and this isn't just Paypal, it's everywhere that makes payment transactions) but I know it's worth understanding in case I should suddenly get wildly successful at something like selling things on eBay.

Hi, I'm trying to close me Dreamstime account as well.  Have disabled all my files as they asked me to do.  They had emailed me that I can suspend the account from the public site from Management Area/Edit profile button.  However I do not find a link to suspend account on the 'Edit your profile' page.  Can anyone please help!

Thanks in advance  :)
