  To get your 1099 form from PayPal for your digital currency income, you need to meet certain criteria. PayPal will issue a 1099-K form if you have received over $20,000 in gross payment volume and completed more than 200 transactions in a calendar year. However, it's important to note that PayPal only issues 1099-K forms for payments received for goods and services, not for personal transactions or digital currency investments. If you meet the criteria, PayPal will automatically generate and send the 1099 form to you.

  Getting a 1099 form from PayPal for your digital currency income is not always necessary. PayPal issues 1099-K forms to report income from goods and services, but not for personal transactions or investments. If you have been using PayPal for personal digital currency transactions or investments, you may not receive a 1099 form. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are reporting your income correctly.
