I am an African student in the US. My friends and family sent me some money last month, and I noticed it was categorized as "Sales and Services". I later realized there is no "Friends and Family" option when sending money from some African countries to the US (perhaps due to fraud issues). The money sent to me is now more than $600, which means PayPal will generate a 1099 for me next year even though I am not running any business. I do not want this because am just a student. Please help.
