I too am freaking out. I’ve received a notice from the IRS that I owe back taxes and fees galore for $120k in sales that PayPal reported to them for 2017, I guess under my social? I’ve searched my PayPal accounts, (I have two bc I didn’t know what I was doing and I set up an extra one after I’d already had one that I never used for years, both personal accounts and I’d only received a total of $5 on one of them from a cash back thing on Retailmenot, I never used these accounts and they didn’t show they were in use either, it’s all 0s for 2017 on both) I can’t find any information on this. The irs says I have 2 weeks to fix it, and that PayPal has to submit to them corrected 1099 that shows 0 for me for this year, but ffs I cannot get help. I’ve been going around in circles for a month and there is NOWHERE to email or submit this to. It’s just incredibly frustrating loops that stick me back into the same useless page that wants me to pick a transaction (uh, there isn’t one!) or go to help, then help sends me to the same “pick a transaction” wall and the message center insists on forcing the same path, it’s truly crazy making to do this and I’m going to have no recourse in like 10 days from officially owing $60k in taxes. I never received this money, so it can’t have had any of my real info attached, and I never sold anything to earn any money, and my listed PayPal account doesn’t show this money. Is there a freakin email address for someone in the fraud department or something that I can get to help me or give me the info on this fake account? The irs says I have to prove it?
