asked

I own a travel company in Costa Rica and need to accept credit cards from my customers. I can only do this through PayPal, which requires transferring funds to a US bank account before wiring them to my Costa Rican business account. Is this legal, and how will the money passing through my personal US bank account be treated tax-wise? How should it be reported to the IRS, and will this activity raise red flags with my personal income tax filings? If this is prohibitively expensive, do you have recommendations for a different structure to accept credit cards?
