Render unto Caesar what is his.

I wonder if General Electric, FedEx, Verizon, or Bank Of America will
get one of these forms? Oh wait, nevermind, those companies pay zero
income tax.

Shawn, maybe if you were a multi-billion-dollar corporation, then you
wouldn't get that form from PayPal. Better step up the sales, hide
your assets offshore, and hire a team of tax attorneys to convince
Caesar that you shouldn't pay a thin dime. ;)
