Delete SSN from Account Settings

[QualCraft]

I created an account using an EIN AND my SSN. I realized after the fact that entering my SSN overrides the EIN. I need to delete my ssn from that account and use just the EIN. How do I do that?

Hi @QualCraft and @Mujahid7,

Thank you for your post! I am sorry to hear that there's difficulty with the Tax information on your PayPal account. The EIN is what is used for a 1099K, but the SSN is used when an EIN is not present. While an SSN may not be removed from an account, it can be replaced with another if the person responsible for running a Business Account changes.

I hope this information helps!
