I don’t use PayPal as business and I received a 1099-k

[Tinaduckbill]

I don’t sell anything or have a business online.
I receive money from my father who lives outside the US through paypal, do I have to report that as “income” to the IRS?

No, money received from your father is not considered as income. They are gifts and you do not have to report them on your tax return. Just keep the form 1099-K and proof of where the money came from in your tax records, in case the IRS asks you about that form.

I had a similar question earlier about someone receiving rebates from a variety of sources and reported on a 1099-K.  Here is what i suggested. 

Since the 1099 K income was issued, you still need to report as other income. Here is the best way to report.

1. Log into Turbo Tax

2. Go to federal>income and expenses>all income>>show more 
3. Less Common Income> Start
4. Miscellaneous Income,>start
5. Other reportable income>start
6. Next screen asks Any Other Taxable Income>yes
7. The next screen will allow you to report the income with a brief explanation. Here you can put 1099-K income reported from Paypal and then the total.`
