Tax reported without reaching requirements

[Bakers16]

Hello,

I received notification this morning that Paypal sent the IRS my 1099-k. However, I did NOT meet the requirements. My earnings were over $20,000, but only 90 transactions. The 1099-K states this.

Why was it sent? I thought it was only if both components triggered? $20k and 200 transactions.

Can anyone tell me why this was done?

Thanks, 
Sandy

Everything gets reported even if you don't have to file a 1099.

So what is the thing with 200 transactions and $20k if everything gets reported?

PayPal is required to report gross payments received for sellers who receive over $20,000 in gross payment volume AND over 200 separate payments in a calendar year.
