* Receive more than $20,000 in gross payment volume in a single year, AND
* Receive 200 or more payments in a single year.
The IRS changes will apply to all payment providers, including PayPal. They will take effect on January 1, 2011, with the first reports going to the IRS in early 2012. Our goal is to help PayPal merchants to understand and comply with the new requirements.
