comment Do I need to collect Tax IDs from website users that I'm paying via paypal on an incentive basis?
Thanks so much for the response. This is all for a website that will be launching in the states in the next couple of months. Right now the threshold is $20, but top users could theoretically make a few thousand in a month. Can 1099s be written without the tax ID number of the person (these users are just people using a website, not companies, and will probably not have tax IDs). I'm basically paying top users based on the popularity of their contributions - unofficial 'employees' if you will. Thoughts in this context?
