Paypal drastic changes


When you’re paid for goods and services, the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers this reportable income.

Once you receive $600 in payments for goods and services within a calendar year, tax laws require us to withhold 24% of such payments when you have not confirmed your taxpayer status by either providing your US tax ID or completing a Certificate of Foreign Status. This 24% is sent to the IRS as backup withholding for any potential income tax due on those payments.

You can learn more about this tax law on the IRS website.

Invalid,

Thanks for the clarification. If you sell on AG but receive cashiers check and avoid PP,  does AG report the transaction to the IRS?  

Reporting Threshold $5,000 in tax year 2024

"In a key revision to the law, the IRS said that starting in tax year 2024 it will transition toward the new rule by increasing the reporting threshold from $600 to $5,000. That means people who receive more than $5,000 in payments via PayPal and other apps in 2024 would receive the 1099-K tax form in early 2025 to complete their 2024 tax returns.

For the 2025 tax year, the threshold would step down to $600, unless the IRS makes additional changes."
