I bought something for my friend who lives in another country, because the online shopping site is not available in her country. I asked her to send me the money on PayPal and she accidentally sent it to me as Goods and Services instead of Friends and Family. Now my account says that I've exceeded the $300 amount for sales even though I didn't make a sale. I don't want to get a 1099 or whatever tax form for this and I have a job so I am taxed a decent amount already. Is there anything I can do to get this transaction changed to Friends and Family since I was doing my friend a favor and not receiving anything in exchange? I don't want to me taxed on the amount I received. My friend already sent less than the amount she was supposed to send and I'm taking a loss because I wanted to do her a favor.
