I did not get paid through friends and family as that is against the rules.
I never assumed I would be getting a 1099 nor did I said I am expecting one. I know that since they didn't pay with cash or check I would not be getting a 1099. Paypal will not send a 1099 of their own unless a person has made over $20,000 AND has over 200 transactions on their account. I did not reach either of those requirements.
I have talked to a few CPAs and they all said I do not have to have my clients EIN number to file however, when doing small business TurboTax it is requiring me to enter the EIN before I can efile. So what do I do? I am getting a lot of push back from my clients about this and they don't want to give me their EIN.
