Does Coinbase Issue 1099-K?

Coinbase is a digital currency exchange headquartered in San Francisco, California. They broker exchanges of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and other digital assets with fiat currencies in 32 countries, and bitcoin transactions and storage in 190 countries worldwide.

NOTE: WARNING: Coinbase does not issue 1099-K forms. It is important to note that Coinbase does not issue 1099-K forms to customers, as Coinbase is not a payment processor. Coinbase only reports customer’s transactions and account balances on Form 1099-B. Customers should be aware of the differences between these two forms when filing their taxes.

Coinbase has been known to issue 1099-K forms to US customers who have made over $20,000 in total sales through the platform during a calendar year. The 1099-K form is an IRS document used to report income from certain types of transactions, including sales of merchandise, exchange of coins or tokens, and other types of transactions.

If you are a US customer who has made over $20,000 in total sales through Coinbase during a calendar year, you may receive a 1099-K form from Coinbase.
