Provide SSN/EIN/ITIN? But this is a charity, no goods and services provided.

I'm being told that I need to confirm my U.S. taxpayer status, "because you receive payment for goods and services..." But my account is for a nonprofit religious institution, we do NOT receive payment for goods or services, we only receive charitable donations. So do I need to proceed with sending in my tax information, or will that confuse PayPal or the IRS into thinking that taxes are due? What will happen if I don't update?

Hi @dovidbenavraham,

 

Thank you for posting in the Community! I can certainly understand your concern and would be happy to help. Typically, you can verify your tax-exempt status by going to the US IRS Dashboard using the alert in the account to confirm taxpayer information. If you're running into issues with this, please contact our Customer Support team for further assistance.


I hope this is resolved for you quickly!
