Question: do you have to give your social security number for paypal?
Answer: If you are a seller using PayPal, you must provide a Social Security Number or a federal tax ID number (EIN) if you sell over $20,000 per year or 200 transactions per year using PayPal, whichever comes first. PayPal must, by IRS tax law, send you a 1099 form to report your income if you reach these levels.
