Form 1099-DA and Form 1099-K give the IRS gross transaction or payment information without necessarily showing profit, cost basis, or losses. For covered U.S. digital-asset brokers, 2025 sales and exchanges generally appear on Form 1099-DA without basis, while certain basis reporting begins in 2026 and forms are expected in early 2027. For tax year 2026, third-party settlement organizations such as Cash App, eBay, Etsy, PayPal and Venmo generally issue Form 1099-K when a user receives more than $20,000 and completes more than 200 transactions on one platform, although platforms may report below that threshold. Crypto dispositions, profitable personal-item sales and business sales can be taxable; personal items sold at a loss generally are not taxable, but the loss is not deductible. Taxpayers should preserve transaction histories, receipts, statements and wallet or marketplace records, reconcile forms with Form 8949, Schedule D or other applicable reporting, and seek corrections from issuers when forms are inaccurate. Missing forms do not eliminate tax obligations.
