I think the third-party platforms were really concerned about this new rule because it puts a lot more pressure on them to be in compliance with the IRS so third-party platforms have moved towards following this rule in 2022 although there is a transition period,” said Deanna Newton, a tax law professor at Pepperdine University.

Newton says if you’re a seller on one of these platforms, it’s ok to put in your social security number because it’s a record for transactions to be reported to the IRS. She adds, however, that she does think third-party platforms should have an option allowing people who don't meet the $600 threshold not to have to put in that information.
