As for repaying money you owed to your dad, if they questioned it, I don't think you would have a problem because presumably you could find your dad again and get him to confirm that it was repayment of an interest free loan. He would have a tax liability if you paid interest on the loan, of course, but since it's your Dad, I for one will assume the loan is interest free.
$600 is the amount you receive a 1099 for Independent Contracting. If you are an IC for a company and you make over $600 they legally have to report it to IRS. You are not an IC for Amazon Payments so there standing rule about
: 20K would apply as that appears to be the new rule for Paypal as well.
