  When it comes to reporting friends and family payments with PayPal in relation to digital currencies, BYDFi suggests following the guidelines set by the IRS. Digital currencies, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, are considered property and are subject to taxation. Therefore, any gains or losses from these currencies, including payments received from friends and family, should be accurately reported on your tax returns. It's important to maintain detailed records of these transactions, including the date, amount, purpose, and the parties involved. This documentation will help you comply with tax laws and provide evidence in case of any future audits. If you're uncertain about how to report these transactions, it's recommended to seek advice from a tax professional who specializes in digital currencies and PayPal transactions.
