I'm a bit confused about the tax implications of cryptocurrency transactions. Does PayPal report crypto transactions to the IRS? I know PayPal has been accepting crypto as a payment method for some time now, but I'm not sure how it handles tax reporting. If they do report to the IRS, does it mean I need to declare every crypto transaction I make through PayPal? And if so, how does that work? I'm hoping someone can clear this up for me. Thanks in advance for your help!

PayPal, as a registered payment processor, has a legal obligation to report its customers' cryptocurrency activities to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

BTCC, a UK-based cryptocurrency exchange, also follows these guidelines, ensuring that all transactions conducted through its platform are accurately reported to the relevant tax authorities.

To fulfill this obligation, PayPal typically issues a Form 1099-K, which details the customer's crypto transactions for the year.
