Just spent an hour on the phone with the IRS and talked to 3 different agents. They told me in no way shape or form to give Paypal my tax ID number. That was for them, myself and an accountant if needed. They also told me that Paypal shouldn't be with holding anything in regards to this. Does Paypal know something the IRS doesn't? I've tried contacting Paypal by several different means and either get a bot responding that kicks me off or a message system that puts me on hold and hangs up after 15 minutes. Don't feel right giving paypal something the IRS tells me not to especially after having a card stolen from their site. I've currently got funds on hold by Paypal because of this too. Just trying to get a legal answer.
