I have searched everywhere,
I do not live in USA nor am I a USA citizen.
I have a US bank account in "Bank of America" (formerly Merril Lynch) since 1979, and opened a US paypal account more than 10 years ago.
I use it very much as almost all of my transaction are with people from the USA.
As I logged into my paypal account today, paypal is asking me :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're asking for your tax ID number due to new IRS rules. Your tax ID
number is one of these:
- Your Social Security number
- Your Individual Tax Identification Number
- Your Employer Identification Number
We'll use your tax ID number to send tax Form 1099-K to you and the IRS
when the payments you receive exceed both of these milestones in a calendar
year:
- $20,000 in gross payment volume for goods or services
- 200 payments for goods or services
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
