commented answer How do I file taxes if Paypal does not have to give you a 1099?

That is a great suggestion, Heather! I'm going to start doing that as well. I was trying to avoid extra work on my tax return for just a few hundred dollars, but I think I have it figured out for this year and now know better for next year thanks to input here!

asked a question How do I file taxes if Paypal does not have to give you a 1099?

Hi all,

I understand that if Rover sends you checks, you have to fill out a W-9 form. If you get your payments through Paypal, you're instructed to go to your paypal account to get a 1099 form. However, after speaking to Paypal, they aren't legally obligated to give you that form if you make less than $20K.

So I've made more than $600 (not by much), and I'm wondering how I report it because my online tax tools aren't being helpful about it. Thanks in advance!
