PayPal wants my SS#

oh it is legit.
When I sign into my PayPal account - there it is, in big red letters.
I know that once you reach $20,000 in transactions AND 200 transactions that you have to file a 1099 for taxes here in the States. I'm over the 200 transactions but no where near $20,000.

this is the message when I sign into my PayPal:
Please provide us with your tax ID number. Your tax ID number lets us send you Form 1099-K, as required by the IRS under certain conditions. Find more information about the new tax rules and why we need your tax ID at www.paypal.com/irs
I just don't know why they need it if I only meet one of the stipulations - not both.
I guess I'll be making a phone call in the morning :roll:

Are you getting this in an email; if so run like crazy? If Pay Pal needs anything from you they'll have a message on your account. I get emails constantly from Pay Pal (supposedly) to update my account but I just delete them all. This scam has been going around for years. I now get them from Wells Fargo since they bought a bank chain saying the I need to update as well; my account has been closed with them for over 5yrs; I delete those as well.
