Use a tax ID No. not SSN

[birdman]

I'm setting up an account for my church to take donations online. To lift limits it is asking for my SSN number but it is not my business I would like to submit the church's Tax Id No.  What do I do?  And will I have complete access to my funds at all time to transfer money to the church's account.

The account must be in someone's name, regardless of the type of organization.   And it's a good idea that bank account be the churches, not yours.

I tried to use my personal SSN for this non-profit organization, however I already have a PayPal account and apparently you can't use the same ssn on two accounts....  Now what.   I want to use the NON-PROFIT orgs Tax ID.  Im only an officer and will turn this account over to the next officer in a year or two.

There is nothing wrong with using the church's tax Id if the money in the account if for the church. SSN is just a term for Tax ID.

Apparently PayPal doesn't think so.  They insist on having a personal NAME and SSN attached to these Non-Profit (501 (c)(3) accounts.  This bothers me because while I will be President of this group for the next year, we have to change these out every year as new presidents for this group become elected.
